Academic Standing
In Good Academic Standing
Students with a cumulative 2.00 grade point average or above are in good academic standing. Students with a cumulative grade point average below 2.00 are placed on academic probation. Different areas of the institution may also establish criteria for good standing as appropriate for each area.
Semester Warning
Students who receive a grade point average of less than 2.00 in any given semester will be placed on “SEMESTER WARNING.”
Midterm Warning
Students who receive a midterm grade point average of less than 2.00 will be placed on “Midterm Warning.”
Academic Probation
Students who fail to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 will be placed on academic probation. This probation signifies that the cumulative performance is below the minimum university requirement for graduation. Students on probation will be notified by their college/campus dean’s office. In addition, the following students will be placed on probation:
1. Students readmitted to the university after being dismissed because of poor scholarship.
2. Transfer students whose records at all previous institutions do not meet the minimum grade point average requirements of Kent State University.
Probation is not a penalty but an emphatic warning to the students that the quality of work must improve if they are to obtain the minimum grades required for graduation. Students placed on probation must show considerable improvement in classwork or they will be dismissed from the university. Students must reduce the course load as prescribed by the academic dean, in no case exceeding 15 hours. The students also should reduce participation in social and extracurricular activities.
Students are removed from probation only when the work meets the grade point average and other requirements stated above.
