If the quality point average (QPA) for all courses attempted at Slippery Rock University is less than a 2.000 (C), the student will be placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation may continue at the university under conditions developed by the appropriate academic dean or the Director of Retention Services and agreed to by the students. Students will also be placed on academic probation whenever they earn less than a 1.000 semester QPA and have a cumulative QPA of 2.000 or higher.

Academic suspension will occur as a result of any of the following conditions:

1. Earning a QPA of less than 1.000 for any semester after the first semester and having a cumulative QPA of less than 2.000.
2. Earning 90 or more semester credits (senior standing) and having a cumulative QPA less than 2.000.
3. If the student is on academic probation for three consecutive semesters.
4. The following table outlines other conditions under which a student will be subject to academic suspension:

Ordinarily, a first suspension is for a period of one semester; a second suspension is for a period of two semesters. All three summer sessions are considered as one semester for purposes of suspension. Students under suspension are not permitted to register for summer classes at Slippery Rock University.

Suspension may result whenever any student incurs grade deficiencies as stipulated above at the conclusion of any semester or summer session. Students who desire to take courses at another institution while on academic suspension should see Undergraduate Transient Clearance Form.
