Academic Recess serves as an official notification that a student's cumulative grade point average was below a 2.0 for three consecutive semesters. Students on Academic Recess are not eligible to enroll in classes for one full calendar year after being placed on Academic Recess. A student returning from Academic Recess must request reactivation through LSA Student Records (lsa.student.records@umich.edu) before registering for classes. The semester the student returns to LSA, the student will be placed on Academic Progress Notice 1.
Academic standing, including academic recess, is based solely on cumulative GPA and is not petitionable.
