One F for your overall GPA will not put you on academic probation I assume?

2.3. A student with a cumulative GPA below 2.00 will be in one of three academic statuses: Academic Warning, Academic Suspension, or Academic Probation.

2.3.1. Academic Warning Status
Every student who meets the criteria set forth in Section 2.2.1-2.2.5 above but whose cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00, the minimum for graduation, will be on Academic Warning Status. The Timely Advising Requirement applies to students on Academic Warning Status.

2.3.2. Academic Suspension Status
Academic Suspension Status is assigned at the end of the spring semester to students who do not meet the minimum eligibility standards and who were enrolled in either the fall or spring semester. Academically suspended students are subject to the provisions of the regulation on Readmission of Former and Academically Suspended Undergraduate Degree Students (REG02.10.2).

2.3.3. Academic Probation Status
Academically suspended students may appeal to the University Admissions Committee for re-admission on Academic Probation Status in order to enroll in a regular semester (fall or spring). Students will not be considered in good academic standing while on Academic Probation Status. The Timely Advising Requirement applies to students on Academic Probation Status. The University Admissions Committee may prescribe additional requirements as a condition of re-admission. Students who obtain a cumulative GPA above the suspension level, after being placed on probation status, will have the probation status discontinued. Students who do not obtain a cumulative GPA above the suspension level, by the end of the spring semester after being placed on probation, will return to Academic Suspension Status.

Why are you so adamant in finding out why I pmd you? The reason I Pm you was because you happen to be the first name I saw of the list of users commenting on the academic probation topic , and pm'd you because I thought you would know a thing or two about academic probation

k, that's fine, i just don't recall posting about acad. probation. no worries. ^^holds your answers

cummulative

for example...if you have a 2.1 gpa(cuMulative), and the next semester you get a 1.0 gpa, which would make your gpa like under a 2(cumulative) then you will be on probation

i have a feeling this is one of the few topics where dnl is considered an expert

5/3/2007 5:01:56 PM

none of you is an expert

5/3/2007 8:51:15 PM

If you have a 2.0 GPA and drop below that, you have a semester on academic warning.
You need to pull your GPA up to satisfactory standing or you could face suspension after a second semester below a 2.0. Suspension depends on hours completed and GPA.

Probation is a word that is used to indicate a returning student who would otherwise be suspended but such student is allowed to return either because he or she is participating in the alternative readmission program or has had an appeal approved by the university readmissions committee.

Now that I have told you all this, you should really be confused

Lets face it honey, if you are worried about Academic Probation/Suspension/Warning as a Freshman you probably aren't gonna make it.

Whats worse is that if you want to change your major no other college will accept you with <2.0, ie you will get stuck in whatever dept your major is in

good luck.

5/5/2007 11:35:29 PM

well if you're just a freshman and you want to change majors then you could just take a bunch of humanities or non-major classes that you think you can do well in for a semester or so to pull the GPA back up and then change majors.

it should only take a few good grades to bump you back over the mark

Sometimes people don't do well in their first major -maybe they find out the hard way it isn't what they thought it would be or their interests or strengths are in another area. If you think you would do better in another major then talk to one of the advisers in our office. True, you can't change majors while you are below a 2.0 but we can work with you to find out what your interests are, advise you on classes to take that play to your strengths as you make progress toward a new degree and help you choose classes that will go in that new degree. 515-5594 is the magic number to schedule an appt. with one of our advisers.

We've helped many in this kind of situation.

I had a friend who had to leave after a semester in the "point club" (0.5 semester GPA), then he took a year to collect his thoughts, got a real job, got married, then returned full time and graduated with a mid-3.something GPA. I was impressed.

^^ If you aren't good at your strenghts, why be in college? Nothing is worse than a dumb person who thinks they are smart.

5/6/2007 10:00:49 PM

^^^ Indeed, that's where half our sociology majors come from.

I'm guessing reading comprehension is not one of your strengths then eh?

Just because someone does not do well in one area does not mean that they will not do well in another. Not all poor performance is due to laziness or inability. Everyone who gets admitted to NC State is very able. The thing is to work with someone to find out what is going on, work to address it and then help them be successful. Its about finding the fit that maximizes each person's gifts and talents. Its not about judging them. Its about fixing the problem and moving on.
