Academic suspension is
based on the cumulative grade-point average measured against a graduated
standard of increasing expectations in accordance with the number of semesters
of enrollment and designated class year. Students' cumulative grade-point
averages are reviewed each year at the end of the spring semester to ensure
that all students are making adequate and consistent progress towards degree
completion.
A student will be subject
to academic suspension from the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) when the
cumulative grade-point average is less than the figure given below:
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 students officially designated
as having nontraditional status, 12 credits on the transcript (earned or
attempted) count as one semester for the purposes of these requirements.
First-year and transfer
students enrolled in their first semester at Rutgers during a spring semester are
not subject to suspension, even when the cumulative GPA is below the specified
standard for their class year. Students will receive at least one semester of
academic warning before receiving a suspension.
A notification of
suspension is sent to the student's permanent address of record and Rutgers
email address as soon as possible after the end of the spring semester.
