The following table shows the cumulative grade point average that warrants putting you on probation. As you will see, that grade point average is different for different levels of academic experience.
|
Credit Units Earned |
GPA Warranting Probation |
|
0–14 |
less than 1.8 |
|
15–29 |
less than 1.9 |
|
30 or more |
less than 2.0 |
This policy applies to all students, including transfer students. For example, if you transfer to NAU with 60 units of credit, you must maintain a 2.0 NAU cumulative grade point average to avoid probation and possible suspension.
It is possible for you to remain on probation for several terms and still avoid suspension—as long as you obtain at least a 2.0 grade point average each term while your cumulative grade point average improves to better than the minimum shown in the table. At that point, you will be removed from academic probation.
While you are on probation, you are limited to a maximum course load of 13 units. In addition, other restrictions may be placed on your course enrollment, employment, and extracurricular activities.
Be aware that we cannot award you a degree if your cumulative grade point average is below 2.0. To improve your grade point average, you may repeat a course or courses in which you earned a grade of D or F. For more information, continue to Course Repeat Policy.
