Policy Statement

Undergraduate degree‐seeking students’ academic status is assessed at the end of every term, whether the student is full‐time or part‐time for that term. A summer session is considered the same as a semester for the purpose of the following regulations:

  1. In general, students will be placed on academic probation whenever their official UM grade‐point average falls below 2.0 (C average). Some academic units may have a higher grade‐point average requirement. First time college freshman admitted to UMKC on the basis of high school records, who have grade‐point averages between 1.50 and 1.99 at the end of the first semester of either full‐ or part‐time study will be placed on academic warning. Students on academic warning must achieve an overall 2.0 average by the end of their second semester or be placed on regular probation. After that, they would be subject to the regular probation requirements.
  2. Students on academic probation will be restored to good standing whenever the UM grade‐point average reaches 2.0 or the GPA level established by their academic units.
  3. Students on academic probation must maintain the grade‐point average required by their academic units during each subsequent semester or summer session while they are on probation. Otherwise they are ineligible to re‐enroll without the approval of the academic units.
  4. Students on academic probation must remove themselves from probation within three successive semesters (including the semester in which they originally were placed on probation). Otherwise they are ineligible to re‐enroll without the approval of the academic units.
  5. Students are responsible for knowing their academic status by referring to Pathway and their permanent transcript.

Graduate Probation Policy

Posted on by wpadm
  • Keywords: Graduate, GPA, Probation
  • Policy Number: KC-ACA-3740
  • Originally Issued: Prior to 2010
  • Revised: Spring 2019
  • Effective Catalog Cycle: AY 19-20
  • Approved by: Graduate Council, SGS Dean, Provost
  • Executive Sponsor: Provost
  • Responsible Office: Registration and Records

Policy Statement

Graduate students, regardless of classification, must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade-point average (GPA) in all coursework taken for graduate credit at UMKC and must meet any additional academic requirements imposed by the school, department or program. Students are responsible for keeping apprised of their academic status by referring to term grades and their permanent academic record on file in the UMKC Registration and Records Office.

Whenever the cumulative GPA for UMKC courses taken for graduate credit by a graduate student of any classification falls below 3.0, the student’s status for the next term becomes: “On Probation – See principal graduate advisor.” (Interdisciplinary Ph.D. students will be directed to consult their interim advisor or research advisor.) The principal graduate advisor, interim advisor or research advisor will review the student’s progress and provide counsel, and the following conditions apply:

  1. While on probation, a graduate student must achieve a 3.0 term GPA in order to enroll for the following term.
  2. A graduate student on probation who is not restored to good academic standing by the end of two successive regular semesters following the term in which the cumulative GPA fell below 3.0 will be declared ineligible. See the Graduate Ineligibility Policy.
  3. A graduate student on probation will not be restored to good standing until a cumulative graduate-credit GPA of at least 3.0 is achieved.
