Hi there,
So I am in first year, and my cumulative GPA is 1.35 – I received 3 credits, and I did Cr/Ncr for one of my other courses which I received no credit as I failed it.. my question is will I be put on probation? I am freaking out right now.. I know for a fact I will be put on probation but Im just hoping that maybe just maybe because I only 3 credits, I won’t be put on probation.. and if I am put on it, what steps do I need to take in order to get myself out of it? Thank you so much for your help!

Hey hey,
Sooooooo I hate to be the bearer of bad news buuuuut you’re kind of sort of on probation. Your ROSI account probably doesn’t say so yet, but when the GPAs get added up and become ~*~official~*~ your standing will say “Probation.”
Sorry bro!
See, while you didn’t receive a credit for that one course you failed, you DID still see it through and got some sort of “grade” in it. Meaning you are designated some kind of standing. Mean probation. 🙁
BUT, that’s okay! It’s not the end of the world, so keep your chin up. All this means is that you need to step up your game. Now students on probation are cautioned against summer classes (or, at least, taking too many of them), so if you’re one of those crazies that dislike the beach and Thirsty Thursday and you’re in 2.0 FCE for the summer session, best… like not.
Now to get OFF of probation, you need to get a CGPA of at least 1.50 or higher in your next session (so like next year). If your CGPA is less than 1.50 and your annual GPA is 1.70 or higher, then you stay on probation. BUT, if your CGPA is less than 1.50 and your annual GPA is less than 1.70, then you’ll be put on suspension.There’s this totally awesome flowchart that explains all of this stuff and that I will probably be referencing like 2374595867 times in the next month, so take a look at that. Visuals are always super fun for explaining things! 😀
