Academic Warning

Academic warning means that a student’s cumulative GPA is unsatisfactory and that the student will be placed on academic probation unless a minimum GPA is met at the end of the next semester.
Students on academic warning are recommended to meet with an academic counselor prior to the next time they register.

Academic Suspension
A student who is on academic probation has one semester to bring their cumulative GPA up to the minimum GPA required as stated above. Students who fail to meet the minimum will be placed on academic suspension.
Reinstatement after Academic Suspension
Once the student’s academic standing has been changed to reflect suspension, the student will be notified by Registration Office and be instructed to complete the reinstatement application.
The student will need to hand in the completed form to the Center for Student Success/One-Stop, Room OS-102, Pitkin Education Center, on the main campus.
The application will be reviewed by members of the academic standing committee or delegated counseling faculty. Once reviewed, the student will be notified of the committee’s decision.
If the student has been approved for reinstatement, they will need to come in person and speak to an academic counselor who will review the details of the reinstatement.
Reinstated students must earn a minimum TERM GPA of a 2.0 or higher.
As long as this is achieved, they will continue with a reinstated conditional standing (even if their overall cumulative GPA is still below the requirement as stated above), which requires an academic counselor’s permission for all registration transactions.
