Understanding Miami's Academic Action Guidelines
Acadmic Warning
An undergraduate student who earns a cumulative grade point average less than 2.0 during his or her first semester at Miami University will be placed on academic warning.
Excluding a student's first semester (per above), in all subsequent semesters an undergraduate student with fewer than 16 cumulative grade point average hours who earns a cumulative grade point average less than 2.0 is placed on academic warning.
Removal of Academic Warning
If an undergraduate student has a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better, the student is removed from academic warning and returned to good standing.
Academic Probation
An undergraduate student has a cumulative average of 2.0 or better, the student shall be removed from academic probation and returned to good standing.
Continuation on Academic Probation
An undergraduate student with 16-29 grade point average hours who is on academic probation and who has a cumulative average less than 2.0 is continued on academic probation.
An undergraduate student with 30 or more grade point average hours who is on academic probation and who has an average for a semester or summer session of 2.0 or better, but has a cumulative average less than 20 is continued on academic probation.
Academic Suspension
An undergraduate with 30 or more grade point average hours who is on academic probation will be suspended if his or her average for a semester or summer session is less than 2.0.
The period of suspension is one semester and a summer. It is two semesters for students suspended at the end of the summer terms.
Academic Dismissal
A second academic suspension for low scholarship consitutes an academic dismissal.
The period of academic dismissal is for two calendar years and is usually considered permanent.
