Dear [first],
Your academic record reflects that you were placed on scholastic suspension prior to the Spring 2023 semester. Effective Fall 2022, CU Boulder introduced a unified academic standing policy for undergraduate degree-seeking students across all colleges, schools and programs.
Following the posting of grades for the Spring 2023 semester, your academic record was carefully reviewed. You have not met the required 2.000 cumulative CU GPA minimum and, therefore, will continue on academic suspension and be evaluated for academic standing in accordance with the new policy from this point forward.
Note that if you are enrolled in Continuing Education courses you will need to maintain a 2.300 semester GPA or above for each fall and spring enrolled semester, including the Fall 2023 semester, in Continuing Education. You will not be eligible to enroll in Main Campus courses during the fall or spring semesters until you have completed the requirements for reinstatement after academic suspension through the options explained below, which includes earning the required 2.000 cumulative CU GPA minimum or returning through conditional enrollment.
As a reminder, a registration hold related to your academic suspension status has been placed on your record and your official transcript still shows that you are on academic suspension.
Federal regulations require students to make satisfactory academic progress in a program of study to be eligible for financial aid. For additional information, see the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy webpage.
Options for Reinstatement after Academic Suspension
Please consider the following options available to you for raising your cumulative GPA, and view CU Boulder’s academic standing requirements for more detailed information.
- Take courses offered through Continuing Education.
- Take summer courses at any University of Colorado campus.
- Take courses at another accredited college or university.
- Take at least one calendar year off with no enrollment at any institution.
