Dismissals
University Dismissals
An undergraduate student is no longer in good academic standing, and therefore subject to dismissal by the dean of a school, who
- Receives a failing grade (F, F*) in three or more credit-bearing courses undertaken in a semester. (Reversion of an incomplete grade (I) to an F shall be included in the total number of failures for the semester in which the I was given, with possible dismissal effective at the close of the current semester) or
- At the end of any academic year has a cumulative GPA of less than 1.5; or
- Fails to satisfy any additional requirements that may be imposed by individual schools (see below: “Busch School Dismissals”); or
- Fails to gain acceptance into a program of concentration or specialized studies following a fourth semester of full-time college work; special exceptions may be made for students who change concentrations in their sophomore year.
The University reserves the right to review the record of a student at any time to determine whether a student meets the standards necessary for graduation. If, in the opinion of the University, this review reveals serious shortcomings, the student may be dismissed. The dean of a school makes the academic dismissal.
