First semester students are expected to maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher. Students making a 1.5 or higher will be permitted to continue at UNCP on probation. Students that earn a GPA below a 1.5 in the first semester at UNCP will be suspended for one semester.

Probation occurs when your cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0. You must earn a semester GPA of a 2.3 on 12 hours of coursework during every semester you are on probation to continue at UNCP. If your semester GPA falls below a 2.3, you will be suspended. Once you have increased your cumulatve GPA to a 2.0, you will no longer be on probation.

Suspension occurs when you have not met the academic requirements to continue at UNCP. Refer to the academic standing policy for details. The first time you are suspended, it will be one semester. If you return and do not meet requirements, the second suspension will last two semesters. A third suspension will result in a suspension of three years.

Suspension Appeals: A student may appeal his or her suspension by completing the documents below and meeting with a member of the Center for Academic Excellence staff. You must appeal 10 business days prior to the beginning of the semester in which you are requesting return. An appeal submission does not guarantee reinstatement to the university.
