Academic probation occurs when a student fails to meet the minimum academic performance standards set by their program or institution, such as maintaining a required GPA, passing required courses, or successfully completing clinical competencies. It serves as an official warning that improvement is necessary to continue in the program, often with a specified period (e.g., one semester) to raise performance and avoid dismissal.
