When your term grade-point average is below 2.00, but the cumulative average is still at least a 2.00, you will receive notification of academic warning on your semester grade report. You are still considered to be a student in good standing. Once the term average goes back above 2.00, you are no longer on academic warning.

When your term and cumulative average both fall below 2.00, you are placed on academic probation. While on probation, you will be required to meet at least once each semester with the Center for Academic Advising, and on a regular basis with your preceptor.

You will continue to be on probation until the term and cumulative averages are at least 2.00. However, if the cumulative average is not at least 2.00 after completing 24 credits (following the first term you were placed on probation), you are subject to academic dismissal. Other circumstances can also lead to dismissal, as below.

After receiving notification that you have been placed on academic probation, you should call the Center for Academic Advising at 652-4504 and schedule an appointment. A hold will be placed on your registration until you meet with an advisor in our office.

Please fill out the questionnaire you receive through the mail, or open and print the questionnaire below. Bring the completed questionnaire with you to your advising appointment. Follow-up appointments may be required, based on the personal action plan that you and the advisor will complete.

The advisor who will handle the probation appointment will do a calculation for your you as to how your grade point is computed, what grades you need to make in the current semester, and how you might need to plan for future gradepoints at Stockton. The advisor may also make recommendations as to what course of action to take with regard to time management, study skills, tutoring, counseling, or other issues.

If your cumulative average is below 2.00 in two consecutive semesters or any three cumulative semesters, you are subject to academic dismissal. Should this happen, you will not be allowed to take classes (not even as a non-matriculated student) for at least one calendar year. Your classes for the next semester will be dropped. Dismissed 91ÊÓƵ may complete any summer classes they registered for before being dismissed, but may not register for Stockton summer classes after being dismissed.

If you are dismissed, you can find information about appealing for reinstatement to the University using the  

Reinstatement Appeals are due to the Office of the Provost by Monday, January 13, 2025 at noon. Appeal outcomes will be sent to 91ÊÓƵ on Friday, January 17, 2025.

The appeal does not result in automatic reinstatement.

If you are dismissed, you may apply for readmission only after the passage of one calendar year. During that year, it is a good idea to take courses at another college, such as your local community college, to prove that you are ready to be a student again. The transferability of any such courses should be checked out with The Center for Academic Advising before you actually enroll.

To qualify for readmission, you must provide new evidence of interest and determination to continue at Stockton by submitting a letter stating (a) what led to the dismissal, (b) activities during the dismissal period, and (c) why you wish to return to Stockton. An example of such an activity would be completion of academic coursework at a regional accredited institution with grades of C or better.
