Academic standing

This website is for Psychology Majors.

The minimum average requirements for satisfactory standing in the Psychology academic plans are listed in the Undergraduate calendar. Understanding your official transcript:

Academic standing: conditional

Conditional standing may be granted for one academic term to a Psychology Major whose cumulative Psychology average falls below the minimum requirement for satisfactory standing. Note however, that conditional standing is not automatically granted and that decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. The Psychology Department reserves the right to limit the number of students on conditional standing.
