Academic Standing

A student whose term and cumulative grade point average are 2.0 or higher is in good standing. (Note: The word term in these Regulations applies to semester or summer session.) A student in good standing whose term grade point average falls below 2.0 is placed on scholastic probation. Any beginning student admitted to the University of Missouri-Columbia who does not meet the minimum entrance standards as specified in Article II, Admissions, Advanced Standing, and Classification will enter on scholastic probation and will have one semester in which to remove probation. All other students on scholastic probation must establish a 2.0 cumulative grade point average within two successive terms, otherwise, he/she is ineligible to re-enroll. A student whose term grade point average falls below 1.0 is ineligible to re-enroll. In the application of the foregoing rules, the Dean or faculty committee of the division concerned will determine how an incomplete grade in a course will be considered in determining a student's academic standing. A student who has been ineligible to enroll for a period of one year may be readmitted only upon the approval of the Dean of the school or college in which the student desires to enroll. If a readmitted student again becomes ineligible to re-enroll, his/her ineligibility is normally considered permanent. These regulations are the prescribed minimal standards but do not limit the authority of the faculty of any school or college to adopt and enforce additional regulations affecting students enrolled therein.
