Students who do not meet the minimum retention semester in the subsequent semester after being on Academic Notice 2 will be Academically Dismissed. Students who do not meet the minimum retention standards, but who obtain a term GPA of 3.0 or higher will be placed on Academic Notice – GPA and given another semester to regain Good Academic Standing.
