Academic Warnings and Dismissal:

Bachelor Period

Students with a cumulative average less than 2.0 at the end of their second or any following semester at Jinan University, will be given an Academic Warning and will have their study load decreased to the authorized minimum number of credits. However, in coordination with the Admission and Registration office and after approval of the Faculty’s Committee, the study load might be increased to a maximum of 15 credit hours, in the case of students graduating in the same semester.

Students that have received an academic warning must improve their academic standing within two semesters from the warning date by raising their cumulative average to a minimum of 2.0.

Should the students fail to do so, they will be expelled, with the exception of those already having 72 credits and provided that their cumulative average is not less than 1.5.

Should these students get a cumulative average inferior to 1.5, in any following semester, they will be dismissed without any prior warning.

Students dismissed for a low average may enroll in another major and will have the courses they passed counted toward the new major, provided that these courses correspond to the new program.
