Students at the University of North Dakota are expected to make progress toward attaining their degrees. Students who have earned fewer than 90 total hours will be considered in Academic Good Standing if they maintain a UND Grade Point Average (GPA) of C (2.00) or higher. Students who have earned 90 or more total hours will be in Academic Good Standing only with a 2.00 or higher GPA on both UND and cumulative hours. Students who do not maintain minimum academic requirements will, at the end of the fall, spring, or summer term in which they fail to meet minimum standards, be placed on Academic Probation. Students on Academic Probation may remove this status by attaining Academic Good Standing. Students will be continued on Academic Probation if they earn at least a 2.00 term GPA at the end of the semester of probation. A student on Academic Probation who earns less than a 2.00 term GPA at the end of the semester of probation is considered not to be making academic progress and will be suspended. NOTE: It is possible to be in Academic Good Standing at the University, and, yet not to be in Academic Good Standing in certain University programs which require a GPA higher than 2.00.

Suspended students may apply to return to the University after one semester’s absence. In order to return to UND all suspended students must seek reinstatement from the Dean of the college in which they intend to enroll, and readmission from the Office of the Registrar. Deans may specify enrollment stipulations at the time of reinstatement. The student will return to UND on probationary status. Under extenuating circumstances suspended students may seek immediate reinstatement from their dean without leaving the University for one academic semester. If the Dean does not reinstate the student after suspension, the student may appeal to the University Senate Student Academic Standards Committee.

After the second suspension, failure to achieve minimum academic standards will result in the student being dismissed from the University with no further opportunity to enroll at the undergraduate level. Students may appeal dismissal to the University Senate Student Academic Standards Committee.

Suspension and dismissal are permanently recorded on the student's transcript.
