Academic Probation
To remain in good academic standing at the university, students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0. If a student's overall GPA goes below a 2.0, the student is placed on scholastic probation. Students on probation must complete at least 12 hours in each long-session semester (fall or spring), and may not receive any incomplete grades at the end of the semester.
THRIVE Program
Students on scholastic probation are eligible to participate in the McCombs Transforming Habits through Resources, Initiative, Vision, and Empowerment (THRIVE) Program. The student will meet with their academic advisor to discuss resources available on campus, and set goals for the semester. If the student successfully completes the requirements of the THRIVE Success Agreement, the student may continue the next semester.

If you are interested in learning more about the THRIVE program, please schedule an appointment with your advisor. Details of how to schedule an appointment can be found on your BBA Academic Advising Canvas Page.
