We are reaching out because your most recent semester/term grade point average (GPA) was below 2.0. While you are currently in Academic Good Standing (your cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher) and remain eligible to enroll at JMU, we want to help you proactively address any challenges to keep you on track for your academic goals.

Why This Matters:
Sustained academic struggles could eventually bring your cumulative GPA below 2.0, which may lead to Academic Probation or Academic Suspension. These statuses could affect your enrollment and potentially delay your graduation. You can find detailed information about JMU’s academic standing policies here.

How We’re Here to Support You:
We understand that many factors can affect academic performance, and we want to make sure you have access to the tools and support you need to succeed. For the upcoming semester/term, we encourage you to explore these resources:
