Academic Probation
Overview
At Wright State University, there are two options for your academic standing.
- Good Academic Standing – Cumulative GPA at or above 2.0
- Academic Probation – Cumulative GPA below a 2.0
If you are on academic probation, you will be removed from probation when you bring your cumulative GPA to at least 2.0.
We know this can be a bit overwhelming, so please know that we are here to support you. Please contact your academic advisor if you have any questions.

Questions
-
What is impacted by academic probation?
Your registration approval is impacted. If you are on academic probation, a Registration PIN is placed on your account and you will need an academic advisor's approval before being able to add or drop classes. The Registration PIN can easily be removed by reaching out to your academic advisor. During your advising appointment, it may be suggested you take fewer credit hours, enroll in particular courses, or participate in academic support programs to ensure your success in the next term.
-
What happens if I am on academic probation for more than one semester?
If you are on academic probation for two consecutive terms, you may be eligible for suspension review, and we want to ensure that is not the case for you by providing additional support and resources.
-
What happens to my college funding if I’m on academic probation?
It is also important to note that academic probation can impact your funding. For example, some scholarships and federal financial aid have academic-related requirements. If you have any questions about your funding requirements and eligibility, please contact Enrollment Services.
