Academic Standing

If you are in one of the first three categories of academic standings:

  1. Academic Alert
  2. Probation
  3. Continued Probation

you will need to participate in the Student Plan for Academic REcovery (SPARE) Program.

Academic Alert

A freshman is placed on academic alert the first term/semester the CGPA drops below 2.0. To be removed from academic alert, the student must raise the 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 participate in the Student Plan of Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop. 

Continued Probation

Any student currently on academic probation will remain on academic probation (i.e. Continued Probation) at the end of any enrollment period in which the student earns at least a 2.25 term/semester GPA but does not achieve the minimum 2.0 UNT Dallas GPA.

All students who are on Continued Probation must participate in the Student Plan of Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop. 

Probation

A student who is not classified as a freshman, or a student who is a freshman and has been on academic alert, is placed on academic probation at the end of any enrollment period in which the 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.

All students who are on Probation must participate in the Student Plan of Academic REcovery (SPARE) Workshop.
