Conditional Acceptance
Residential Students
On campus undergraduate admissions criteria are a cumulative high school GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for freshmen, or 2.0 cumulative college GPA for transfer students. Students whose GPA falls below that threshold may be granted Conditional Acceptance based on personal essay or interview with the Director of Admissions and/or Vice President of Enrollment and an in depth transcript analysis. If granted Conditional Acceptance, students will be limited to 12 credit hours their first semester and must meet regularly with the Student Success Coordinator.
Online Students
Undergraduate students entering the University of Jamestown online programs with less than 24 transfer credits or with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) lower than 2.0 if more than 24 transfer credits, will be accepted for admission on a conditional basis. During their first two semesters of enrollment/four 8-week modules/32 weeks, conditional admittees must be limited to 12 credits (4 classes) in each semester/16 weeks and upon completion of the two semesters/32 weeks, must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 to continue with additional courses.
Students who do reach a 2.0 GPA or higher following completion of 2 semesters/32 weeks, will have the conditional acceptance removed from their UJ file and will be allowed to continue with their courses at UJ.
Students who do not reach a 2.0 GPA upon completion of 2 semesters/32 weeks will be dismissed from the University of Jamestown and will need to apply for reinstatement if they choose to return to UJ after a period of at least 6 months.
These same rules would apply to graduate students who have an undergraduate GPA of less than a 3.0. These students would need to obtain a cumulative 3.0 GPA upon completion of two semesters/32 weeks of courses at UJ.
Additional Information
All students accepted on a conditional basis would still be eligible to receive Title IV funding if they meet the federal guidelines.
All students accepted on a conditional basis will have a registration hold placed on their account until their cumulative GPA can be calculated to determine if requirements of conditional acceptance have been met.
