I took a course over the summer. Will this get me off probation? Can summer courses help improve my GPA?🔹 Will repeating a course in intersession change my academic status?🔹 How do I get off academic probation?

Learn how summer or intersession courses affect your GPA and academic standing, especially if you’re on probation.

If you repeat a course in intersession that you originally took in fall/winter, your SGPA (sessional grade point average) for that term will be updated to reflect the repeated course.

However:

• 📊 Your academic status (e.g., probation) is based on your fall/winter SGPA at the time it was assessed
• 🔁 That status remains in place until it is reviewed again at the end of the next fall/winter term

📌 Note: Even if your SGPA improves, your status won’t change until the next full academic review.
