Grade point deficit is defined as the number of grade points below the required 2.0 minimum GPA. The deficit reflects the number of hours of B (3.0) grades necessary in the future to raise the GPA to the 2.0 minimum.
2.2.2 Students with a cumulative GPA above 2.0 and a term GPA below 1.0 will be placed on Academic Warning and allowed to continue enrollment.

2.3.3 Students on Academic Suspension with a grade point deficit of 15 or less may choose to enroll in NC State summer terms in an effort to improve their status.

18.104.22.168 Students on suspension deferral for summer must raise their cumulative GPA to at least a 2.0 or pass at least 6 hours with a cumulative summer GPA of 2.0. Failure to do so will result in the student being returned to Academic Suspension status.
2.3.4. Students on Academic Suspension may submit an appeal to continue enrollment for the next term. (See RUL 02.66.01 - Undergraduate Readmission and Appeals for information on appealing Academic Suspension).
2.3.5 Students who remain on Academic Suspension will have all future term enrollments canceled and may not re-enroll.
