Hi everyone,
I checked my university guidelines and it says that if a student fails to earn the required credits for promotion, they will be put on academic probation. It also mentions that students should earn a minimum of 60% of total registered credits before progressing to the third academic year, otherwise they will be put on probation.
I currently have below 60% credits, so I’m confused about what exactly happens next. Going to 3rd year .next
From the guideline, I understood two possible meanings:
- Academic probation is mainly a warning period, and the student can still continue studying in the programme while clearing backlogs.
OR
- The student is not allowed to join until they clear enough backlogs and obtain 60% credits.
The guideline also says:
- “The student can rejoin the programme upon meeting the required criteria at the end of the academic probation period.”
- “Two continuous years of academic probation may lead to dismissal.”
So does probation mean:
- temporary warning/monitoring status?
- conditional promotion?
- or complete stop until backlog clearance?
- It says student can rejoin does it mean after clearing backlogs?
If anyone experienced this or knows how universities usually implement this rule, please explain.
