The student's academic standing is determined by the cumulative grade-point average at the end of each term.

• To be in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative grade-point average at least 2.0 at the end of the first and succeeding terms. For part-time and transfer students, a block of 12 semester hours of credit is considered one term. A cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0 is required for graduation. A 2.0 grade-point average in a student's major and minor is also required for graduation.
• A cumulative grade-point average below 2.0 will place the student on academic probation. The student's academic dean will notify the student of his or her probationary status. A student on probation must follow a restricted academic program not to exceed 16 semester hours.
• It is the responsibility of any student on academic probation to complete a contract with the dean for the purpose of determining the nature and limitations of the student's future academic and extracurricular activities.
• Students whose academic performance has seriously impaired their ability to succeed academically at the University of Dayton are subject to dismissal. A student who is subject to academic dismissal can be dismissed only by his or her academic dean, who authorizes the dismissal and notifies the student of his or her status. Students who are subject to dismissal include (a) those who fail to achieve good standing at the end of a term on probation and (b)  those who have a term point average of less than 1.0, regardless of cumulative grade-point average.
• The Registrar will post "Academic Dismissal" on the permanent record of any student who is dismissed.
