Academic Eligibility Standards
Academic Standing (Effective Fall 2014)
A student’s academic standing during any term is determined by the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) earned on the total quality hours. To be in good standing all incoming freshmen must maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA. Individuals with less than a cumulative 2.0 GPA are placed on either probation or suspension.
The cumulative GPA compared to the semester hours attempted and earned is used to determine the academic standing of a student. Evaluations are made to determine the academic standing of students at the end of the Fall and Spring semester. To determine the academic eligibility of transfer students, total credit hours accepted from other institutions are added to the credit hours attempted and credit hours earned at ECSU. Students are expected to maintain awareness of their academic standing by obtaining periodic assistance from their assigned academic advisors and/or the University Registrar’s Office. The minimum academic standing requirements are as follows:
