Probation/Continuing Probation Policy
Important! The information presented here is intended for University College exploratory students whose GPA is below Academic Good Standing. In no way is all the information presented here intended as a substitute for academic advising. It is required for all students placed on academic probation, or continuing probation, to meet with a University College advisor.
We understand that no student wants to earn bad grades. But bad grades still happen and can result in a student being placed on academic probation. There are many reasons students do not earn the grades they are capable of earning—not being adequately prepared for the course, lack of test preparation, didn’t do homework assignments—it is likely you have an explanation as well. However, if you find you are on Academic Probation, there are steps you need to take to continue your studies at ASU.
Step 1—Meet With an Academic Advisor
It is required that you meet with an academic advisor to get you back on track. To schedule an appointment, please call:
| Downtown Phoenix campus | 602-496-0358 |
| Tempe campus | 480-965-4464 |
| Polytechnic campus | 480-727-1526 |
| West campus | 602-543-9222 |
Step 2—Complete an Academic Success Agreement
When you meet with your advisor, you will complete an Academic Success Agreement form. This form is essentially a contract between you and University College to outline requirements you must complete to remain at ASU for future semesters.
Step 3—Maintain a Satisfactory GPA
There is no limit to the number of semesters you may continue at ASU while on academic probation as long as you experience no break in attendance and maintain a satisfactory semester GPA. The minimum semester GPA required for you to continue at ASU while on probation is as follows:
| Hours | Minimum Semester GPA |
| 24 or fewer | 1.60 |
| 25 – 55 | 1.75 |
| 56 – 86 | 2.00 |
