UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
1.6 Good Academic Standing and Scholastic Requirements for Continuing Enrollment of a Student Under Academic Probation in an Undergraduate College Undergraduate students must meet the GPA requirements below to be in good academic standing. Each college, department, or academic program within OSU may require higher standards for admission, retention, or good academic standing.
In addition to these minimal regulations, additional college, department or program requirements may apply. Students are advised to review all steps of their academic progress with their academic adviser. 1. Admission, Academic Standing and Withdrawal 1.1 Admission of Freshmen Policies and procedures governing the admission of new freshmen are detailed in another section of the Catalog. (See "Undergraduate Admissions (p. 22).") Assessment/Course Placement To help insure that students possess the skills necessary to be successful in college, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education require students to obtain a 19 ACT subject area score(s) in science reasoning, mathematics, and English to enroll in course work in the respective subject area(s). Students must score 19 or higher in reading to enroll in courses that require extensive reading. Students scoring below 19 will be required to remediate in the discipline area (UNIV courses with course numbers beginning with 0) or undergo additional testing to determine the level of readiness for college level work. Students must pass developmental courses within the first 24 hours attempted or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to developmental courses until the deficiencies are removed. If a student fails to remediate in a single subject within the 24 hour limit and is in good academic standing, the adviser and dean may recommend to the Provost that the student be allowed to continue to enroll in college level courses in addition to developmental courses. 1.2 Admission of Transfer Students Policies and procedures governing the admission of transfer students are detailed in another section of the Catalog. (See "Undergraduate Admissions (p. 22).") 1.3 Admission to Certain Professional Programs Admission to certain programs as approved by the University may be restricted. (See "Undergraduate Admissions (p. 22)" and appropriate college sections in the Catalog.) 1.4 English Proficiency Requirement As a condition of admission to undergraduate study at OSU, all persons for whom English is a second language shall be required to present evidence of English proficiency. (See "Undergraduate Admissions (p. 22).") 1.5 Satisfactory Academic Progress Students not under academic suspension from the University are judged to be making satisfactory progress toward their educational objectives. They are eligible to enroll in any of the undergraduate colleges except as may be restricted. (See Academic Regulation 1.3 Admission to Certain Professional Programs.)

Any student not maintaining an overall GPA as indicated above will be placed on probation for one semester. At the end of that semester, he or she must have a current term (semester) GPA of 2.00, not to include physical education activity (leisure) or developmental courses, or meet the minimum standard required above, in order to continue as a student. First year students (30 or fewer credit hours, as defined by OSRHE policy) with an overall GPA of 1.70 to less than 2.00 will be placed on academic notice. These students should remain in contact with their student academic service offices regarding special academic support services and procedures. See Academic Regulation 6.4: Grade-Point Average Calculations for a description of overall and current term GPA calculations. These calculations are made three times per year, to coincide with the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, and the collective summer term. Grades submitted after these calculations are carried forward to the next calculation. (See also Academic Regulation 6.13 Academic Forgiveness.) A student enrolling on probation should seek help from an academic adviser and a counselor in the University Counseling Services when deciding on an academic load and extracurricular activities. 1.7 Academic Suspension A student on probation will be suspended when he or she earns a current term (semester) GPA of less than a 2.00 in regularly-graded course work not including physical education activity (leisure) or developmental courses, and the overall grade-point average falls below the following. See Academic Regulation 6.4: Grade-Point Average Calculations for a description of overall and term GPA calculations.
