Academic Standards

Any undergraduate students—freshman or transfer—whose first-semester GPA is less than 2.0 and who have not met any other terms for academic dismissal will be on Academic Warning in their second semester of study at the college.  Notification of this academic standing will be emailed to students' Buffalo State email accounts.

Students on Academic Warning may be ineligible for financial aid based on failure to meet federal and/or state aid eligibility standards.

As a condition of enrollment at SUNY Buffalo State as a student on Academic Warning, students on are required to:

• Follow the directions included in all letters and emails sent regarding how to address being on Academic Warning. 
• Attend all scheduled appointments related to your Academic Warning status and complete all action steps (e.g., academic petitions, college service referrals, reduction of work hours, participation in Buffalo State's Academic Recovery Program) that are required to help you return to good academic standing as quickly as possible.
  • Failure to attend Academic Warning meetings or follow your Academic Warning semester plan will factor into any future Buffalo State dismissal decisions that may be needed to be made.  

Academic Warning is not available for graduate students.
