Earn 2.0 or greater cumulative GPA
Earn 2.0 or greater semester GPA
Earn 75% or greater semester SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress)
Earn at least 6 credits in a single semester

Earn less than 2.0 cumulative GPA and have previously been on Academic Warning at any time.
Earn less than 1.0 semester GPA and have previously been on Academic Warning at any time.

Students who are lifted from Academic Warning but subsequently fail to maintain the academic standards in any future semester will be placed on Academic Probation.

Students may not petition Academic Warning because this standing does not prevent their ability to enroll in courses or have access to University resources.
Yes, effective Fall Semester 2010 BYU—Idaho introduced Academic Warning and stipulated that all students, regardless of the standard they do not meet, will go from Satisfactory Standing to Academic Warning on their first infraction. This policy is not retroactive. Students that received academic discipline prior to Fall Semester 2010 and have continued their education at BYU—Idaho do not start over on Academic Warning. Students who have received academic discipline under the previous academic standards policy should contact Student Records and Registration to understand how the new policy will apply to them.
Additionally, a student cannot be placed on Academic Suspension for failure to maintain SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) alone. Failure to earn 75% SAP must also be accompanied with a semester GPA below a 2.0.
