Probation and Suspension
ACADEMIC PROBATION for Undergraduates
Academic standing is based upon the overall G.P.A. and is reviewed at the end of each semester; students who have not made satisfactory progress will be placed on academic probation for the next semester. Satisfactory progress is based on the number of overall G.P.A. hours and overall G.P.A. according to the following scale.
| Overall G.P.A. Hours | Overall G.P.A. |
|---|---|
| 0-29 | 1.65 |
| 30-45 | 1.75 |
| 46-59 | 1.90 |
| 60+ | 2.0 |
CONDITIONS OF ACADEMIC PROBATION
Certain restrictions are placed on students who are on Academic Probation status to assist them with improving their academic performance. Non-compliance with any of these restrictions is taken very seriously because the conditions of Academic Probation exists to help students identify and solve their academic issues.
- A student on Academic Probation is required to complete a Path To Success document at the Center For Student Success within two weeks of the start of the semester.
- A student on Academic Probation may register for a maximum academic load of 13 semester credit hours. (Note: Students with declared majors in Applied Technology Programs may register for a maximum academic load of 15 semester credit hours.)
- A student on Academic Probation should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine how his or her financial aid is affected by their academic status. The student remains on academic probation until his/her overall G.P.A. hours and overall G.P.A. meet or exceed acceptable standards (see scale above).
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION for Undergraduates
A student on academic probation will be suspended at the end of the semester in which the overall G.P.A. remains below acceptable standards and the semester G.P.A. falls below 2.0. Students placed on academic suspension are sent a certified letter by the Registrar. The first suspension from WNMU is for one full calendar year from the date of suspension. A student may appeal their first suspension to the Admissions and Academic Standing Committee. A second suspension may not be appealed.
The student must serve a suspension of one full calendar year. With any subsequent suspension, the student must serve a full two calendar year suspension without any right to appeal. Students serving their suspension must contact the Registrar’s Office for re-admission following the suspension period.
REINSTATED FROM SUSPENSION
Suspended students who are reinstated re-enter WNMU on academic probation. During the period of suspension, a student may not register for classes, live in student housing, or participate in student activities at WNMU.
NOTE: Students suspended from another institution are not eligible to enroll at WNMU until they have served the suspension period of that institution.
