Failure to maintain the minimum grade point average will result in probation for the first semester, and suspension from enrolling in 300-400 level courses after the probationary semester until the cumulative grade point average is raised to or above the 2.25 minimum. 

All IPAT majors must earn a minimum grade of a C- in all required courses, including pre-requisites.
