What does academic probation mean in college?

A: Being on Academic Probation means that you have not been passing enough courses with at least a C or better. Even if your cumulative GPA is above 2.0, if your term GPA is between 1.5 and 1.9 (and you have been here longer than one quarter) you will be on Academic Probation.

Does FW affect GPA?

A Withdraw Not Fail (WNF) will have no effect on your GPA as you withdrew from the course before it counted as a fail. A Withdraw Fail (WF) is weighted as a ‘0’ towards your GPA, whereas a Fail (F) is weighted as 1.5. Therefore, when calculating your GPA, a Withdraw Fail has more impact than a Fail grade.
