Students in Good Academic Standing will have no registration limits placed on them. Failure to meet the minimum CGPA requirement will result in restrictions on registration and may eventually lead to academic suspension from undergraduate studies at UFV.

Academic standing is governed by UFV’s Undergraduate Continuance policy (92).
