Once a student has completed 18 credit hours, they are assessed at the end of each term to make sure that they are meeting the minimum cumulative GPA required for regular status. When a student’s GPA falls below the minimum requirement, they are moved to probation.

While on probation, students must meet two restrictions: 1) They must not exceed 9 credit hours of classes per term, and 2) They must achieve a term GPA of 2.0 (C) each term while on probation.

To see the University's policy for probation, please visit the Academic Calendar's Regulations & Policies section.

In this case, we are using “term GPA” to describe the grade point average for all courses completed at the end of each term. This may include 3 credit hour or 6 credit hour courses for which a grade is awarded at the conclusion of the Fall, Winter, or Spring terms. A term GPA is calculated based on all of the grades awarded. Students on probation must average at least a C (2.0) between all of these classes in order to continue with their studies.

Yes. If you are in classes when you are notified of your status change, you are allowed to finish those classes. However, when registering for future terms, you will be limited to 9 credit hours per term. It is strongly encouraged that you meet with a Student Success Advisor to plan your courses prior to registration.

Students remain on probation until they reach the minimum cumulative GPA requirement outlined in the Academic Calendar. This may take one term, or it can take more – there is no time limit. The minimum GPA is outlined in the Regulations and Policies section of the Academic Calendar (7C), and is based on the number of credit hours you have attempted and your GPA:

So, for example, if you have attempted 39 credit hours, your GPA must be at least 1.5 in order to be Regular status.

If you receive a term GPA lower than 2.0 (C) while on probation, you will be moved to suspension the following term. We strongly encourage you to consult with a Student Success Advisor about strategies to increase your GPA if you have been placed on probation.

For more information on suspension, please see Suspension FAQs.

Generally, once a final grade has been added to a student’s transcript, it is permanent, and you cannot change it. However, if your grade was the result of circumstances beyond your control, you may qualify for an appeal for retroactive withdrawal. Generally, students have one year from the end of a course to submit an appeal for that course.

Please contact a Student Success Advisor to discuss your options. You can email advising@uwinnipeg.ca or book an appointment at myvisit.com or using the myVisit app, available for iPhone and android.

If you repeat a class and pass both attempts, we will use only the higher grade in the calculation of your cumulative GPA. This can be a good way to quickly increase your GPA. However, if you finished a class with an F grade, you cannot replace that grade, even if you repeat the class and do better. Both grades will continue to count towards your cumulative GPA.

Your probation status will appear on your transcript while you remain on probation. Once you have returned to regular status, it will be removed from your transcript.

Students in the Faculty of Education who are moved to probation will be removed from the Faculty of Education.
