Academic Warning
Maintaining adequate progress for a degree is defined by meeting a 2.00 cumulative GPA (CGPA). Students who do not maintain a 2.00 CGPA move into a status of Academic Warning. While on Academic Warning, you will have a hold placed on the registration of subsequent semesters. All notifications concerning the hold will be sent to your campus email address.
Releasing Your Academic Warning Hold
Academic Warning is not a punishment or the end of your academic career. The hold is a notification that it is time to seek help in taking an active approach to improving your academics. During the required meetings with your adviser or department chair, you may be asked to:
- Reflect on challenges that led to the warning
- Discuss campus resources
- Plan a balanced schedule
- Understand GPA, grades, and policies
- Develop a plan for success
- Schedule follow-up meeting(s)
-
Contact your adviser or the Black School of Business office to determine who best to speak to about your hold.
Academic Suspension and Dismissal
SUSPENSION: You will be academically suspended from the University if you earn less than a 2.00-semester grade-point average while on Academic Warning. Academic Suspension prevents enrollment at Penn State for two semesters.
DISMISSAL: If you have been placed on academic suspension two times and fail to achieve at least a 2.00 semester GPA, you will be academically dismissed. After a period of four calendar years, academically dismissed students may seek re-enrollment to the University by requesting academic renewal.
