If anyone can help answer this VERY important question I would appreciate it.
My GPA is 2.97. I received a letter stating that I lost my scholarship because I needed a 3.0 to keep it. They do have an appeal process but I thought that a 2.97 they would round it to 3.0? I can’t imagine losing my scholarship over .03.
Are there general guidelines that address this situation?
Schools will not round your GPA. If they did it for you, they would have to do it for everyone, and then what is the point of having a set requirement?
The best thing to do is go through the appeal process and hope for the best.
If you raise it through a summer class, will that count?
Yes you can. A 2.97 is not a 3.0. Go through the appeals process.
I saw someone quip here recently: $2.97 won’t pay for a $3.00 item. (Apologies for paraphrasing whichever poster that was!)
If they do consider rounding up, they may just say 2.95 as the requirement.
Believe it.
Slightly different situation, but years ago my friend was booted from her program when she was a college senior. She needed to keep a 2.5 in the sciences and she only had a 2.49.
Kicked out for being .01 short.
We were deeply shocked, but the college drew the line at 2.50, not 2.49.

Yes. They said you have to have a 3.0. You got a 2.97.
You say you can’t imagine losing your scholarship over 0.03. I agree. Why would YOU let that happen?
