MISSISSIPPI UNIVERSITY FOR WOMEN minimum grade point average of 2.0 with no quality point index deficiency, regardless of their classification. Academic Warning, Probation, Suspension and Dismissal All students, whether full-time or part-time, are expected to maintain a quality of work necessary for reasonable progress toward graduation. In order to graduate, a student must earn a total number of grade points that is at least twice as great as the total number of academic credit hours attempted. Falling beneath this criterion indicates substandard progress toward a degree. Probation Students whose cumulative MUW GPA falls below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. Students admitted with a GPA less than 2.0 as evaluated by academic policies will be placed on academic probation upon admission. Students on first academic probation (P1) returning in the fall or spring will be limited to twelve (12) hours, or six (6) hours in the summer; additionally, students must successfully complete UN 098 Academic Recovery, a three (3) hour course consisting of a series of study skills lectures designed to improve study skills. The Academic Recovery class is not required for subsequent semesters, but the limit of twelve (12) hours for spring and fall and six (6) for summer will continue until a cumulative MUW GPA of 2.0 or better is achieved. Suspension Students with a semester GPA of less than 2.0 who were admitted on academic probation or have already served one probationary period will be expected to maintain the academic standards listed in the chart below. Failure to meet this expectation will result in academic suspension. Cumulative GPA Hours (Including Transfer Work) 0 - 29.99 30 - 59.99 60- 89.99 90 & above
