current student,  suspension

surprise, you’re… suspended?

Can you be retroactively suspended 9 months after finishing a final exam. From a course mark being amended and causing your SGPA to be below 1.7 in a previous academic year? Like after you finished a Summer Semester and are now right into a new Fall/Winter Semester?


hi there,

i don’t know of any cases of ‘retroactive suspensions’, but if it did happen that wouldn’t be the first time something i didn’t know came around and screwed things over (*cough cough* midterms). so i guess what i’m saying it could happen and you really gotta ask your registrar or academic advisor to be sure.

according to the artsci website, your academic standing is evaluated twice a year: once at the end of the summer session and once at the end of the fall/winter session. the evaluations are based on your cgpa and your gpa from that session. so you might be able to get away with it if the exam was from the 2021-2022 fall/winter session, or summer 2022, in which case you’ll just be evaluated by your cgpa and sessional gpa from now until the end of the current fall/winter session.

also, you’re probably aware, but suspension would only happen if you’re already on probation, and there’s a bunch of different rules on how those academic standings are determined based on your gpa and past academic history — here’s a refresher in case you need it.

good luck,

aska
