      2. Students must maintain a 2.00 GPA in required coursework each semester. All students will be monitored each semester to ensure that they are making satisfactory academic progress in the major. Failure to maintain a cumulative UB GPA or Nutrition Science major GPA ≥ 2.000 will result in the student receiving warnings, mandatory advising, and the required completion of an academic workshop. Students who fail to maintain a cumulative UB GPA or Nutrition Science major GPA ≥ 2.000 for three consecutive semesters will be removed from the major.
        Not resolved to a course
      3. Academic reviews are conducted following Fall and Spring semesters only. Courses repeated during the winter and/or summer are not factored into the review.
