Academic Standing
Undergraduate students at Fort Hays State University are expected to meet academic standards set by the university and to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress towards earning a degree.
Students are expected to perform at a level which will lead to graduation at the university. A minimum of a C average (2.00 grade point average) is required for graduation, although specific fields may require more than the minimum (for example, elementary and secondary education). If grades reflect that students are not making progress towards a degree, they are placed on academic probation or academic suspension.
First-semester students (with no credit beyond high school) are placed on 1st Time Freshman Probation or 1st Time Freshmen Suspension Waiver and may be subject to conditions designed to increase academic success.
Students are notified at their official university email address (@mail.fhsu.edu) if they are not meeting the university academic standard of a 2.00 Cumulative GPA.
Academic standing is processed at the close of the spring, summer, and fall academic periods once grades are finalized.
