Academic Status Clear Status and Probation To stay in good academic standing with a Clear status, a student must maintain a GPA of 2.00 or greater on USA course work. In addition, a student must earn a minimum cumulative USA GPA of 2.00 to graduate. The College of Education requires a minimum of 2.20 and a 2.50 GPA for teacher certification.   Students with a cumulative GPA below 2.00 are having academic difficulties and are alerted to this fact by being placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation are restricted to taking not more than 13 credit hours per term, unless exempted from this regulation by the dean of their college. Students with GPA's substantially below 2.00 are subject to academic suspension or dismissal. See the Suspension and Dismissal table for the minimum GPA required after the completion of a certain number of hours.   Note: Students no longer may have an Undetermined academic status at the end of a semester. The semester GPA is calculated on the grades assigned to the completed courses, and the "I" or "X" symbols remain until the deadline in the middle of the next semester at which time the student must have completed the course work or taken the final exam.
