To remain in good academic standing and graduate from UNT Dallas, students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA (CGPA). Academic standing is reviewed after every Fall, Spring, and Summer term.
Students who fall into any of the following three academic standings categories:
- Academic Alert
- Probation
- Continued Probation,
are required to complete the Student Plan for Academic REcovery (SPARE) Program.
Academic Alert
Freshmen students are placed on academic alert the first term/semester their CGPA drops below 2.0. To be removed from academic alert, the student must raise their CGPA to a minimum of 2.0 during the next period of enrollment.
A student on academic alert who does not raise the CGPA to at least the minimum 2.0 at the end of the next term/semester of enrollment is placed on academic probation.
All students who are on academic alert must complete the Student Plan for Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop.
Academic Probation
Students who are not classified as a freshman, or a student who is a freshman, and has been on academic alert, are placed on academic probation at the end of any enrollment period in which their CGPA drops below a 2.0.
A student remains on academic probation at the end of any enrollment period in which the student earns at least a 2.25 GPA but does not achieve the minimum 2.0 CGPA. A student remains on academic probation during any summer enrollment in which the student fails to raise the CGPA to the minimum 2.0 CGPA.
Students who are placed on academic probation must complete the Student Plan for Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop.
*Students on probation who raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher by the end of the term are returned to “good academic standing” and are no longer subject to course load restrictions.
Continued Probation
Students currently on academic probation will remain on continued probation at the end of any term in which they earn at least a 2.25 term/semester GPA but still have not reached the minimum 2.0 cumulative UNT Dallas GPA.
All students who are placed on Continued Probation must complete the Student Plan for Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop.
