Academic Probation is an internal marker placed in students’ progress files by the Pre-Veterinary Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards. It allows students who do not meet the satisfactory academic progress guidelines to continue in the Pre-Veterinary medical program for one semester with a prescribed program of courses.
Students may continue on academic probation for an additional semester if the Pre-Veterinary Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards sees significant improvement.
While on probation, students are reviewed by the Pre-Veterinary Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards each semester. Students on academic probation must raise their cumulative GPAs to at least 3.00 within one academic year, or risk dismissal. Students who raise their cumulative GPAs to 3.00 or higher are removed from academic probation at the conclusion of the semester.
