Academic standing

Academic standing is a performance category in which a student is placed based on his/her GPA in courses completed at PSU. In order to graduate from PSU a student must be in good standing.

Good standing

In order to maintain good standing with the University, a student must maintain a minimum cumulative PSU GPA of 2.00.

Academic warning

Any student who has 12 or more attempted credits and whose cumulative PSU GPA falls below a 2.00 will be placed on academic warning. A registration hold will be placed on his/her record until he/she has attended an "Academic Warning Workshop".

 

Academic probation

Any student on academic warning will be placed on academic probation if at least one of the following requirements is not met:

  • Raise the cumulative PSU GPA to 2.00.
  • Earn a PSU GPA for the given term of a 2.25 or above.

Academic dismissal

Any student on academic probation will be dismissed at the end of the term if at least one of the following requirements is not met:

  1. Raise the cumulative PSU GPA to 2.0.
  2. Earn a PSU GPA for the given term of a 2.25 or above.

If only the second of these requirements is met, a student will remain on academic probation subject to the same requirements as those specified above.

Note: If a student is academically dismissed from PSU, he/she is not permitted to register for any PSU courses.
