First Dismissal


A student ordinarily is considered for dismissal from the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) when one of the following conditions is met:

1) The cumulative grade-point average is less than the figure given below:

  • at the end of the first semester* no automatic dismissal
  • at the end of the second semester* 1.500
  • at the end of the fourth semester* 1.700
  • at the end of the sixth semester* 1.900
  • at the end of the eighth or higher semester* 2.000

*Semesters completed at Rutgers University and at other postsecondary institutions are included in the calculation of semesters attended. However, attendance during Winter and Summer Sessions is not counted as an additional semester in attendance. For SAS nontraditional-status students, 12 credits on the transcript (earned or attempted) count as one semester for the purposes of these requirements.

2) A semester average below 1.350 whether part time or full time, subsequent to a semester of academic probation.

3) Three consecutive semesters with a probation GPA whether part time or full time.

A notification regarding dismissal is sent to students' permanent address of record and Rutgers email address as soon as possible after the end of the semester.
