Students on academic probation may not enroll in more than 15 semester hours. A student on academic probation whose semester grade-point average is 2.00 or higher is not suspended at the close of that semester even though the cumulative grade-point average remains below 2.00.

The student is removed from academic probation at the close of a semester in which the cumulative grade-point

average meets or exceeds 2.00.


Undergraduate special students are not subject to academic eligibility while in this classification.


A student's eligibility in a given semester cannot be influenced by the change of a grade awarded in any semester prior to the previous semester, except in the removal of an incomplete grade.
