Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 within their current program. Undergraduate students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 are placed on academic probation. Graduate students (Graduate, Advanced Graduate, Specialist, and Doctoral Programs) must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 within their current program. Graduate students whose cumulative GPA is below a 3.0 are placed on academic probation.

To be removed from academic probation, students must raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 (Undergraduate) or 3.0 (Graduate) or above after the completion of six additional credits in the next semester within their current program. Students taking fewer than six credits will be removed from academic probation when they raise their cumulative GPA to 2.0 (Undergraduate) or 3.0 (Graduate) or above with the first six credits completed in next semester(s). Failure to do so will result in academic dismissal.

Undergraduate or graduate students who have demonstrated academic deficiencies in academic performance or demonstrated deficiencies related to campus-wide outcomes that jeopardize the successful completion of their program will be placed on academic probation. To be removed from probation they must successfully follow the provisions of an academic plan formulated by the academic dean in conjunction with the student’s program director with input from faculty to address the deficiencies. The student must remove the provisions of academic probation.

See the Nurse Anesthesia Handbook for Clinical Probation.

Voluntary Withdrawal

Students who wish to voluntarily withdraw from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota must do so in writing to the program director.

Administrative Withdrawal

Since all degree requirements must be completed within the degree completion time limit, students who exceed this limit will be administratively withdrawn unless an extension is granted. Students who have not registered for three consecutive semesters will be administratively withdrawn. In the Human Development program, students may be administratively withdrawn if they do not produce a completed contract within four months of completing the HD690 course.

Students who have been administratively withdrawn from a course as a result of an unauthorized withdrawal and not enrolled in at least one credit during the same term will be administratively withdrawn from the university.

Students who have been administratively withdrawn must reapply and be accepted before resuming their studies.
