A student who fails to maintain a 2.0 GPA in Business/Economics course work or fails to maintain a 2.0 GPA in the student's major will be subject to either probation with registration restrictions or suspension from the CBA.

By University policy, a student who fails to maintain a 2.0 ("C") overall Grade Point Average may be dismissed from The University of Akron.

In the event the CBA's Retention-Probationary Status Policy fails to aid a student in resolving a cumulative GPA problem, the College invokes the University dismissal policy. A first dismissal is for at least one full semester.

For re-admission consideration to the University or to the College, a student must submit a written letter requesting reinstatement. The letter must explain the student's plan for returning to academic good standing. The Director of Undergraduate Programs must approve of any courses selected until the student returns to academic good standing. If a student is reinstated, then the student is restricted to enrolling in two courses until the student's GPA is at least a 2.0.

A typical progression is as follows:
(1) an academic warning;
(2) probation with course restrictions; and
(3) dismissal from The University of Akron if the overall GPA is less than 2.0, or suspension from the College of Business Administration, if the overall GPA is above 2.0, but is below 2.0 in all Business and Economics courses or in the major.
