Academic probation is a period of time during
which a student who is not in good
academic standing is allowed to continue
in school while working to regain good
academic standing.
Any student whose semester grade point
average is lower than 2.0 will be placed on
academic probation.
You will be finished with academic
probation when your semester grade
point average equals or exceeds 2.0
AND your cumulative grade point
average equals or exceeds 2.0.
As long as you earn a
2.0
or better semester GPA,
you can continue to enroll at
UCA.
 Probation
may delay graduation.
 Probation limits access to majors and
programs.
 Probation will affect your financial aid.
 Probation can result in academic
suspension.
If you are suspended, you may not
take classes at UCA.
Any credit earned at another
institution during your suspension
period will not count toward a
degree at UCA.
A first suspension will be for one academic
semester.
 A second suspension will be for one
calendar year.
 A third suspension will be academic
dismissal, for an indefinite period of time.*
