Academic probation

Academic Probation occurs when a student’s cumulative GPA at UH falls below a 2.0. Until the cumulative UH GPA is 2.00 or higher a student will remain on probation. It is critical that after going on probation a student realistically asses the obstacles to academic success, utilize the information provided below to get off probation in a timely fashion, and thereby avoid possible suspension from the university.

Note: The policies listed below are policies which apply to students who are currently listed as Pre-Bus majors or who have filed a degree plan within the Bauer College. Though non-business students on probation at the university may seek advising in our college, those students should also consult the department of their current major for their policies and procedures. Non-business majors should also familiarize themselves with the requirements to change their major.
