Academic Probation
ACADEMIC PROBATION LEVELS:
If a student is on PRO 1, s/he has had one (1) semester with an official UWO grade point average of less than a 2.0. The student is strongly encouraged to reflect on his/her current academic situation and make some changes.
If a student is on PRO 2, s/he has had two (2) consecutive semesters with an official UWO grade point average of less than a 2.0. The student has one more semester to raise his/her grade point to a 2.0 or higher or s/he will be suspended. Students on PRO 2 have a HOLD on their account and must meet with their advisor before registering for classes.
If a student is on PRO 3, it means that s/he had been suspended but was allowed to continue at UW Oshkosh because his/her suspension appeal was approved. The student has one more semester to raise his/ her UWO grade point to a 2.0 or higher or s/he will be suspended. Students on PRO 3 have a HOLD on their account and must meet with their advisor before registering for classes.
