Academic Probation
Students placed on probation are required to increase their GPA to 3.0 or above by the end of that semester. Failure to reach a GPA of 3.0 will likely result in termination. Depending on the student’s circumstances and your recommendation, a second probationary semester may be approved.
Students are not permitted to take more than 9 credits during their probationary semester, nor to receive grades of I, Z, F, or W. Under no circumstances can CCAS award a degree to a student with a degree GPA below 3.0. Taking additional coursework to increase the GPA is not permitted.
Termination
Students who demonstrate an inability to reach or maintain a degree GPA of 3.0 or are otherwise determined to not be making satisfactory progress in the program will have their degree candidacy terminated. This includes students who are unlikely to complete their degree within the normal time frame and required credit hours.
If you are in need of the Academic Dismissal Form (formerly the Termination Form), please send your request to ccasgradserv@gwu.edu.
