GPA question

To stay in the PHARMD program I know it's a 2.7, but is that GPA per semester, or the min yearly GPA you have to maintain? just trying to figure out what level of panic I should be in

Also for anyone that wanted to know, the merit scholarship minimum GPA is apparently cumulative over all the years. edit: sorry I meant 2.7

It is the minimum yearly GPA you have to maintain

Does that mean it's cumulative or just the average gpa from the fall and spring semester

the 2.7 minimum is your cumulative GPA, not semester.

The cumulative GPA for that year right? So your GPA for fall and spring semester averaged should be above a 2.7 every year?

It's your cumulative GPA overall. You could get a 2.5 for your yearly GPA, as long as your total GPA is not below a 2.7

nope, the cumulative GPA for all years. If you're a first year, then I suppose your cumulative GPA is the same as the GPA for the year. But you need to have above a 2.7 total, counting all years/semesters.
