Probation/Jeopardy of Dismissal

Grand Valley has a minimum level of academic achievement for undergraduate students based on the total number of credits completed.  A student can be placed on a probationary status or a jeopardy of dismissal status.  See the chart below for more explanation:

Grade Level Semester Hours
Earned:		 Cumulative GPA for Dismissal Cumulative GPA for Probation
Freshman 0-24 1.500 or less 1.501-1.999
Sophomore 25-54 1.800 or less 1.801-1.999
Junior 55-84 1.999 or less Not applicable
Senior 85+ 1.99 or less Not applicable

 

Students who find themselves on either of these statuses must earn a 2.5 GPA within the semester following the notification of jeopardy of dismissal or probation.
