Academic Standing and Progress

Academic Standing

Students maintain good academic standing for each semester when they successfully complete the minimum criteria for credits and semester GPA, and are also making reasonable progress toward meeting their overall degree requirements.  The specific criteria to maintain good academic standing are defined by the school.  

The following academic standing status are available, although each school determines whether or not they may use a particular definition:

• Good Academic Standing
• Notice of Academic Alert
• Notice of Academic Concern
• Notice of Continued Academic Concern
• Required Leave
• Notice of Academic Concern: Pre-Dismissal
• Academic Dismissal

Academic standing for each term is determined by a student's performance in the preceding term. It is expected that the academic standing for all students will be accurately reflected no later than the commencement of the upcoming term.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students are expected to make satisfactory academic progress throughout their time at NYU.  Satisfactory academic progress is determined by a number of factors depending on their degree level, among other factors.  Additional information can be found in the Office of Financial Aid’s policy on Academic Progress.
