The Truth About Academic Probation and Dismissal

Academic probation isn’t the end of the road, it’s a chance to reset. Listen to Professor G on #TecoGuide for advice!
Academic probation occurs when your GPA drops below 2.0. Fall below this threshold for multiple semesters, and you risk academic dismissal. But don’t worry, dismissal doesn’t have to be permanent. Most colleges allow you to reapply through a simple readmission petition.
