Student Academic Services
Academic Dismissal
Academic dismissal will occur as a result of either of the following:
- Freshmen who return on academic probation after suspension will be dismissed if they fail to earn either a minimum 2.30 GPA each term or raise their cumulative GPA to 1.75.
- Sophomores, juniors, and seniors who return on academic probation after suspension will be dismissed if they fail to earn either a minimum 2.30 GPA each term or raise their cumulative GPA to 2.00.
Students who have been academically dismissed cannot enroll at UNCG. One year after an academic dismissal, students may petition Student Academic Services to return to the University. Approval to continue after academic dismissal is a relatively rare occurrence. If approved, students will return on academic probation status.
