The first time a student's accumulative GPA falls below 2.0, he or she is placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation may not receive a grade of incomplete in any course.

A student having an accumulative GPA below 1.0 after one semester or below 1.5 after two or more semesters is automatically suspended.

To be removed from probation, a student must achieve an accumulative GPA of 2.0. In order to avoid being suspended, a student must achieve a GPA of at least 2.0 each semester. (Such a student is considered to be continued on probation.) A student who is suspended may not re-enter UMF for a period of 12 months. A student who is suspended twice may not re-enter for five years. Students who are on the suspension list for a third time are permanently dismissed from the university and cannot apply for readmission.

Probation and suspension status is reviewed at the end of the fall semester and at the end of the spring semester. May term and summer term courses do not change probation status until after the following fall semester; winter term courses do not change probation status until after the following spring semester.

Students who have been suspended ordinarily may not enroll in any UMF courses until they have been readmitted. For further information, see Readmission Policy in the Admission section of this catalog.
