Undergraduate Students

The School of Education requires that all undergraduate students achieve a minimum cumulative GPA to remain in good academic standing. The minimum cumulative GPA to remain in good academic standing is 3.0 for all majors, with the exception of selected studies in education, which is a 2.8 cumulative GPA. If at any time the student’s cumulative GPA falls below the minimum cumulative GPA, a student may be dismissed from his/her academic program/major. Additional requirements, including academic probation standards, are stated in the School of Education’s Undergraduate Handbook. Failure to meet these requirements also constitutes grounds for dismissal from a program of study. Reasons for dismissal include, but are not limited to, failure to maintain or achieve the minimum cumulative GPA requirement, failure to develop appropriate professional skills and dispositions, failure to meet program and professional standards of practice, academic dishonesty, and other forms of professional misconduct.

Students have the right to be accompanied by an advisor from SU’s academic community during the hearing. While the student may consult the advisor, the student him- or herself must present the case and respond to the appeal panel’s questions. If a student’s grounds for the appeal concern issues of disability or other forms of diversity, the student may ask a member of any university support unit to review the case file and act as a consultant to the appeal panel. The decision of the appeal panel is final.
