EX: Joe is on first semester Academic Probation at the end of a spring semester. In the summer session he received under a 2.0 GPA. This would not put him on second semester probation status. When the following fall semester starts he will still be considered on first semester probation.

Share your educational /career goals with family and friends to gain their support and understanding of your time demands.
