12.4. Academic Probation

Students on Continued Academic Warning who fail to achieve a cumulative GPA (CGPA) of at least 3.00 by the conclusion of the semester will be placed on Academic Probation.

• A student on academic probation is not eligible for a graduate assistantship or tuition waiver.
• An academic probation does not appear on the student's official academic transcript.
• Students are notified of their academic probation status via official NDSU email.

To continue the pursuit of a graduate degree program, a student on academic probation must develop a remediation plan in collaboration with the advisor and submit the Academic Probation Remediation Plan form. This plan must include:

• Specific Courses: The courses the student plans to take in the subsequent semester(s).
• Target Grades: The grades the student aims to achieve in those courses to raise their CGPA to 3.00 or higher.
• Improvement Strategies: An explanation of the specific steps the student will take to improve their academic performance (e.g., study groups, tutoring, improved time management).

The completed Remediation Plan must be received (with all signatures) by the Graduate College before the last day of online registration in Campus Connection.

Students on academic probation can take a leave of absence from their graduate studies; this will not change their academic standing. Students on academic probation must submit their remediation plan before requesting a leave of absence.
