Probation students must be advised that their first semester on probation they must receive a 2.0 or better GPA at the end of the current semester to continue enrollment. They are limited to 12 credit hours and must enroll in a study skills class during this first semester on academic probation.
Being on academic probation means that your grade point average (GPA) has fallen below the minimum retention standards of the school you're attending and is used by schools as a warning that you need to improve your academic performance. The usual minimum grade point average for most schools is 2.00.
What are the GPA requirements? Cumulative GPAs are generated from the Admissions department. If you do not have a GPA with Collin College, the system will generate a GPA from your previous high school, college or university. All applicants are required to have a minimum GPA of at least 2.5.
As for deadlines, Collin College operates on a rolling admissions policy which means you can apply at any time of the year.
Collin College operates under an “open door” policy. Students who are 18 years of age or older are eligible for admission. Other students may be admitted under the special admission requirements.
Academic probation focuses on a student's grade point average (GPA) when the GPA falls below a 2.0 after the student has attempted at least 12 semester units.
When a student's cumulative GPA drops below 2.0, the institution can put them on academic probation. Academic probation means students risk losing financial aid and even being dropped from college. Low grades are a warning sign that students need to make changes quickly to continue their education.
Failure to Meet the Standards of Academic Progress - GPA and Percent Completion. A student who fails to meet the Financial Aid GPA of 2.0 and/or a Completion Rate of 67% will automatically be placed on warning for the next semester of enrollment.
