Freshmen: First Time on Probation

When freshman students enrolled in Liberal Arts & Sciences or Fine, Performing, & Communication Arts fall below a 2.0 GPA as a result of their first term at Wayne State University, they are placed on academic probation and a hold is placed on future registration. Because of their academic status these students are now part of a WSU program called WayneREACH (Reaching for Academic Heights). This program, outlined below, can help freshman students succeed academically and make satisfactory progress toward graduation.
