Scholastic probation

Scholastic probation, sometimes known as flunking out, is the formal warning that is given to students at a higher educational institution as the result of poor academic achievement. Normally, if students that are on academic probation do not quickly address their grades and improve their GPA to at least a 2.0, more serious consequences may occur, which are not limited to academic suspension.

Not to be confused with academic probation which is the initial probationary period in the employment of an academic, or disciplinary probation which is the result of student misconduct rather than academic performance.
