Four-Year Graduation Plan

A complete set of eligibility rules is listed in the information packet sent to all new freshmen and is on the Web at academic.umn.edu/fouryear.

Class Standing

Your semester class standing is determined by the number of credits you have completed:

Probation/Suspension

Undergraduates are placed on academic probation if either their term GPA or their cumulative GPA is below 2.00. They remain on probation until both GPAs are 2.00 or above. They are suspended if, while on probation, their cumulative GPA is or goes below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters.

When suspended, students are no longer in their program and cannot register for University courses for one full academic year.

Declaring a Major

Colleges and programs have different procedures for students to declare a major, but all students must declare a major or be accepted into a program before or upon completing 60 semester credits. Undeclared students with 60 or more credits will not be allowed to register.
