gpa you must have at the end of this

Your contract notes the GPA you need to

return to Good Academic Standing

Questions you need to ask yourself:

Am I at risk of being dismissed from OU? (Is

there a possibility that I won’t meet the minimum

cumulative gpa I need?)

Is there a possibility that I can return to Good

Academic Standing? (Look at Term 2 of your

Contract)
