Students are expected to remain in satisfactory academic standing, meaning that the student has maintained an acceptable cumulative gradepoint average (GPA) for course work at SUNY Ulster:
| Semester Hours of Credit Attempted | Satisfactory GPA |
| 0-24 | 1.5 |
| 26-36 | 1.7 |
| 37-54 | 1.9 |
| 55+ | 2.0 |
A matriculated student who fails to maintain a satisfactory GPA is subject to academic probation or dismissal. Academic probation, including any accompanying restraints upon the student’s activities, is intended to encourage greater effort by the student who appears to be having difficulty meeting academic standards. Probation lists are compiled at the end of each term and applied to the student’s academic standing for the following semester(s). A student on probation who does not achieve the minimum acceptable GPA by the end of the next semester may be subject to dismissal review by the Academic Review Committee.
The progress of part-time matriculated students will be reviewed in units of six or more credits. A part-time student placed on probation for two consecutive terms may be subject to dismissal review by the Academic Review Committee.
Academic dismissal means that the student has lost matriculated status at the College and cannot return to the college or take classes for at least one academic term (Fall or Spring). A student who has been dismissed and who believes that an error has been made or extenuating circumstances exist has the right of appeal. A student who is currently enrolled will be permitted to continue attending classes until a decision is made on the appeal. Students petitioning for reinstatement or appealing a dismissal decision must meet all submission deadlines which are communicated to the student at the time of dismissal.
