Academic Probation

Graduate Students

Satisfactory progress is defined as a cumulative QPR (GPA) of 3.0 or greater.  Any student whose cumulative QPR (GPA) is below 3.0 will be placed on academic probation and will be required to obtain written permission from the program coordinator prior to registering for additional coursework.  The program coordinator or designee may provide written conditions, beyond specifying the current term course registration, which would be included in the student's academic record.

Undergraduate Students

Students are placed on academic probation when they fail to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average in accordance with the following satisfactory progress scale:

Cumulative grade point average of 1.75 for 3 to 27 credits attempted;
Cumulative grade point average of 1.85 for 28 to 57 credits attempted;
Cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for 58 or more credits attempted.

Academic probation of transfer students is determined in accordance with the same graduated, minimum cumulative grade point average scale as for non-transfer students, as detailed above.  In determining a transfer student's academic standing, the student's total semester hours completed - those transferred from other institutions plus those attempted at the University of New Haven - are applied to the minimum cumulative grade point average scale.

Students who are on academic probation are limited to a course load not to exceed four courses (13 credits).  Any course above the four-course limit taken by a student at another institution during a period of academic probation will not be accepted for credit by the university.

The counting of the number of academic probations for any student shall not change as the result of an academic dismissal.  A student shall be dismissed automatically as a result of the third or, if readmitted, any subsequent probation.

Academic probation(s) are recorded on the student's transcript.
