Low Core Grades |
If you have received a C- or lower in one or more MCB core courses, it is recommended that you meet with an advisor. Previous experience has shown that students who do poorly in a core course tend to struggle with future MCB courses. |
Low Major GPA |
MCB majors are required to have a major GPA of 2.00 or better. If your major GPA <2.00 you will be required to meet with an advisor and a hold will be placed on your account until you do. |
Once notified of your academic status you will be asked to meet with an advisor and sign an advising contract to participate in our probation program. Through this program you will be required to meet with an advisor (ideally the same one) at least three times during the semester.
Once you have completed your required 3 meetings you may continue to meet with your advisor should you find it necessary and/or beneficial. If you miss any of the three required meetings a hold will be placed on your account until a meeting is scheduled.
