Academic StandingThe University tries to assure that students progress satisfactorily toward their goals and receive clear warning when they do not. To this end, this academic program adheres to a clear policy, but provides for exceptions in unusual cases. The interest of the student is paramount.Good Academic StandingA student is in good academic standing when term grade-point average (T-GPA), cumulative grade-point average (C-GPA), and grade-point average in courses necessary for their degree program (D-GPA) from the University of Missouri system are all 2.0 or higher. If a student starts a semester in good academic standing, and receives a T-GPA or D-GPA less than 2.00 (but higher than 1.00), then the student is placed on academic probation. If a student starts a semester in good academic standing, and receives a T-GPA or D-GPA less than 1.00, then the student becomes ineligible to continue their degree objective.Academic ProbationA student who is placed on probation must return to good academic standing in one or two semesters, under the following restrictions: If the T-GPA, D-GPA, and C-GPA are all 2.0 or higher at the end of the first semester, then the student is returned to Good Academic Standing. If the T-GPA is 2.0 or higher for the first probationary semester, then the student will be allowed to enroll for a second and final probationary semester. If the T-GPA is less than 1.0, the student becomes ineligible to continue their degree objective. Note: Students may also be placed on academic probation at the time of initial admission or readmission because they do not fully meet the minimum standards.Academic IneligibilityStudents become ineligible to continue their degree objective if either T-GPA or D-GPA is less than 1.0, or if the T-GPA is less than 2.0 in a probationary semester.Grade ReportsThe academic standing statements found at the top of semester grade reports are only calculated from T-GPA and C-GPA (the D-GPA is not incorporated and will be calculated by your adviser) and are defined as follows:
