Academic Standing
Good Standing
To remain in good academic standing, you must maintain a minimum grade-point average (GPA) for the number of credits you have earned. The table below shows the minimum Boise State GPA you must have in relation to the total cumulative credits earned (includes both transfer and Boise State credits) for determining probation or dismissal status.
| Minimum Boise State University GPA Necessary to Remain in Good Academic Standing | |
|---|---|
| Cumulative Credits Earned (Transfer and Boise State) | Minimum Boise State Cumulative GPA BSU GPA only - Transfer GPA not included |
| 0 to 6 | 1.00 |
| 7 to 32 | 1.60 |
| 33 to 64 | 1.80 |
| 65 or more | 2.00 |
Probation/Dismissal
If you fail to maintain the minimum Boise State University GPA shown in the above table, you are placed on probation. At the end of your next semester at Boise State University, the university reviews your record and takes one of the following actions:
- Removes you from probation (if your cumulative Boise State University GPA is at or above the minimum specified in the table above.
- Continues your probation (if your cumulative Boise State University GPA is below the minimum specified in the above table, buy your semester GPA is 2.0 or higher)
- Dismisses you from the university (if your cumulative Boise State University GPA is below the minimum specified in the above table and your semester GPA is below a 2.0)
NOTE:
If you transfer credits to Boise State University and are admitted on probation, you must attain at least a 2.0 GPA in your first semester. If you fail to do so, you will be dismissed from the university. For more information on transferring credits and admission status, see Chapter 3-Admissions, and Chapter 11-Obtaining a Degree at Boise State University.
If you leave the university while on probation, you will remain on probation when you return - even if you have attended another institution in the meantime. While on probation, you may be ineligible to receive financial aid and you may be ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities sponsored by the university. For more information on these restrictions, see Chapter 7-Financial Aid and the Boise State University Student Handbook.
If you are dismissed from the university, you are barred from enrolling for one semester (fall or spring) after the dismissal and for one year after any subsequent dismissal. If you wish to appeal this waiting period, you must file an appeal with the University Appeals Committee. The Academic Appeals form is available from the Registrar's Office.
