Academic Warning

Academic Warning (previously called probation) is when an improvement in academic performance or progress is required.

If the academic warning GPA level assigned is not met in the following semester, the student is subject to drop rules. The minimum academic goal of any student should be to keep his or her GPA for any semester above 2.00.

A detailed description of the campus academic warning regulations appears in part 1, article 3-110 of the Student Code.

The rules are outlined here for convenience:

GPA Situation Academic Warning Rule
Semester GPA < 2.0 for continuing students with cumulative GPA > 2.0
OR
Incoming first-year students with a semester or summer GPA 2.0
2.00 academic warning
Cumulative GPA between 1.75 - 1.99 inclusive 2.25 academic warning
Cumulative GPA < 1.75 2.33 academic warning
Combined Transfer and U of I GPA < 2.0 2.00 academic warning

In addition, students may be placed on academic warning if they do not meet Technical GPA Requirements.
