The academic record of each enrolled undergraduate student will be reviewed at the end of every semester to verify accumulative GPA. At the time of the review, if your accumulative GPA is below a 2.0, you will be placed on academic probation. To be removed from probation, your accumulative GPA must reach at least a 2.0.

Academic Success Workshops

The Academic Success Workshop is a two-hour information session for all students who are placed on academic probation. Students will learn about µÛÍõ»áËù's academic probation policies, including what it means to "be on probation," how your GPA affects your status at OHIO (including your financial aid), and how to be removed from academic probation.

Students with fewer than 90 credit hours earned:

If you have earned fewer than 90 semester credit hours and are not removed from probation, you will be continued on probation or academically dismissed. To be continued on probation, you must have either 1) semester GPA of at least 2.0 or 2) accumulative GPA equal to or greater than the minimum GPA defined by your hours earned:

If you are on probation and do not meet either of the criteria listed above, you will be academically dismissed.

Students with 90 or more semester credit hours earned:

If you are on probation in a given semester and you have 90 or more semester credit hours earned at the end of that semester, you must achieve a 2.0 accumulative GPA to avoid academic dismissal.

Some colleges require higher standards of performance than the University's 2.0 minimum. If you have been dropped from a college because of failure to meet such additional standards but are not subject to dismissal according to the University rules, you are still eligible for potential admission to other programs in the University. International students placed on academic probation are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor in International Student and Scholar Services to discuss their situations. International students in F-1 or J-1 status who are dropped from their programs or from the University must see an advisor in International Student and Scholar Services.

Removal from Probation

Removal of probationary status is automatic at the close of the semester when your accumulative GPA rises to 2.0 or above, unless your college requires higher standards.

Dismissal and Reinstatement

If you have been dismissed, you are not able to enroll for in-person or online courses at µÛÍõ»áËù (including regional campuses).

You may petition your college’s Assistant Dean for reinstatement, but normally reinstatement will not be granted until at least 12 months after your dismissal. As a condition for reinstatement, the dean of your college may suggest remedial steps you can take.

Students petitioning for reinstatement must do so according to the following deadlines:

Petitions received after the deadlines above will be held for review for the next semester.

If you have been dismissed from the University for a second time, reinstatement is possible only under extraordinary circumstances and usually is not granted until at least 24 months after the second dismissal.

Students who are reinstated are invited to participate in the Bobcat Breakthroughs program.
