Understanding Academic Standing in Canada

✅

Good Standing

Your CGPA meets or exceeds the minimum requirement (often around 1.50 or 2.00 on a 4.0 scale, depending on your faculty).

⚠️

Academic Probation

Your CGPA has fallen below the minimum requirement. You are allowed to continue studying, but usually with a restricted course load.

🛑

Required to Withdraw

If you fail to meet the conditions of your probation, you may be suspended or required to withdraw from the university for 1-3 years.

💡Critical Advice: If you are at risk of RTW, contact your academic advisor immediately. They can help you with late withdrawals, course retakes, or academic appeals.
