UMES POLICY ON ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Good Academic Standing
Students are considered to be in good academic standing and performing satisfactorily at UMES if their cumulative GPA is at least 2.0.
Unsatisfactory Performance:
| Total Hours Attempted | AcademicDismissal If Cum.GPA is | AcademicProbation If Cum.GPA is in the range |
| 1-24 | 1.549 or below | 1.550 to 1.999 |
| 25-48 | 1.699 or below | 1.700 to 1.999 |
| 49-73 | 1.799 or below | 1.800 to 1.999 |
| 74 and above | 1.949 or below | 1.950 to 1.999 |
All credit hours transferred to UMES are included in the Total Hours attempted in the first column of the above table when determining the category of academic performance. The cumulative GPA is computed by using
- the number of credit hours attempted at UMES and corresponding grades earned, and
- credit hours attempted elsewhere within the University System of Maryland and the corresponding grades earned, when the grades also transfer to UMES. If the grades do not transfer, the hours are not used in computing the GPA.
