If your GPA falls below a certain point, you will be on Academic Probation

Here’s how it works

For the first 6 weeks, everyone is eligible to participle in school

activities.

The first grading period (6 weeks) determines if you are eligible, on probation or ineligible.

If your GPA is between a 1.67 and 1.9, you are on Probation.

If your GPA is under 1.66, you are ineligible.
