Suspension & Probation Policy

Good Academic Standing

Students are in good academic standing if they maintain a cumulative resident grade point average of 2.000 or greater.

Academic Probation

Students will be placed on academic probation if:

  • They have completed 30 or more credits at UWRF and have earned a cumulative grade point average less than 2.000
  • They have completed less than 30 credits at UWRF and have a Fall, Spring, or Summer semester GPA of less than 1.667. To maintain enrollment, these students must meet with and establish an academic contract with their academic advisor or academic dean. An F grade counts as completed credits for the purpose of this policy.
  • They are readmitted after having left UWRF while they were on probation or suspended for academic reasons.

Academic Suspension

Students will be suspended if any of the following items apply:

  • Their semester and cumulative grade point average is less than 2.000 at the end of two successive semesters at UWRF.
  • They have completed 30 or more credits at UWRF and have a Fall, Spring, or Summer semester GPA of less than 1.000. Students do not need to be on probation for this regulation to take effect. An F grade counts as completed credits for the purpose of this policy.

Reentry After Suspension

A student who seeks reentry to the University after academic suspension may apply for readmission through the Registrar's Office. The Dean of the college fo which the student seeks reentry will make the reentry decision. Depending on the circumstances, it is the Dean's prerogative to readmit the student or not and determine the length and criteria of the suspension.

The requirements for the Suspension and Probation policies passed by Faculty Senate, January 2008. (Motion 2007-08/21)
