Undergraduate Catalog (2026-2027)

Good Standing and Academic Probation

At the conclusion of each fall and spring semester, undergraduate On-Campus and SWU Global students’ records will be reviewed to determine academic standing (eligibility for continuation without restriction).

Good academic standing is attained when a student earns at least the minimum Institutional Total GPA indicated below for each fall and spring semester of enrollment. The Institutional Total GPA is calculated for all grades earned for every semester of enrollment at Southern Wesleyan University (including summer semesters calculated at the end of fall):

Any student who fails to meet these requirements will be placed on academic warning for the following semester. Students placed on academic warning will be advised to limit co-curricular activities.

Any student who is currently on academic warning for the fall or spring semester and who does not attain good standing by the end of the current semester will be placed on academic probation. Any student who is currently on probation has limits on the extent he or she may represent the University (see details below). By the end of the semester of probation, the student must meet the requirements for good standing or be suspended for the following full semester.
