Academic Standing

  • Good Standing - Oregon State University expects students to make satisfactory academic progress toward their degree objective. Undergraduate students are in good standing if both their OSU term and cumulative GPA are 2.00 or above.
  • Academic Warning - Students are placed on academic warning if their term GPA is 2.00 or below.
  • Academic Probation - Students who have completed two or more terms and have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or below are placed on academic probation.
  • Academic suspension occurs when a student who is on academic probation has a term GPA of 2.00 or below.
  • Suspended students are denied all privileges of the university including living in any university-recognized living groups.
  • Suspended students will be reinstated after 2 years OR after completing 24 transferable quarter credits with a GPA of 2.50 or higher for these credits.
  • Please refer to Academic Regulation 22 (also in the printed Registration Information Handbook) for more information.

The Academic Standing Committee addresses requests for exception to Academic Regulation 22. Suspended students who are considering filing a Request for Exception to Academic Regulation 22 should meet with the head advisor of their college to discuss their options. The preparation process generally requires several days; students should allow sufficient time before the ASC meeting to gather and prepare all materials. Students with specific questions should contact their college head advisor, or the Registrar's Office.

Read ASC Guideline 7 for criteria to qualify for exception to Academic Regulation 22.
