Definition
A formal warning status assigned to students whose cumulative or term GPA falls below the institution's minimum standard (typically 2.0). Students on academic probation must meet specific conditions — such as raising their GPA by the following semester — or face academic suspension. Probation periods often restrict enrollment in certain courses and may require mandatory advising.
