The more credits you have left, the easier it is to move your cumulative GPA — fewer remaining credits make a big swing impossible.

University of Central Florida requires a 2.0 cumulative GPA for good academic standing; below that is academic probation. This tool computes the GPA you need over your remaining credits to reach 2.0 (or any target up to 4.0).
University of Central Florida requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 to remain in good academic standing. Below 2.0 you are placed on academic probation and usually have one term to recover.
Use: required = (target × total credits − current points) ÷ remaining credits, where current points = current GPA × completed credits. The calculator above does this with UCF's 2.0 good-standing line pre-filled.
When the required GPA over your remaining credits exceeds UCF's maximum of 4.0, the target is mathematically out of reach. This happens with few remaining credits or a large gap between current and target GPA.

University of Central Florida places students below a 2.0 cumulative GPA on academic probation. Getting back to good standing means earning enough grade points over your remaining credits to lift the cumulative average back to 2.0.
The math is unforgiving as you accumulate credits: with many completed credits, a single strong semester moves the cumulative GPA only slightly. That is why recovering from a low GPA is easier earlier in your degree, when more credits remain.
Beyond good standing, UCF's Dean's List sits at about 3.40. The calculator lets you set any target — good-standing, 3.0, or Dean's List — and tells you the GPA required next term, flagging when it exceeds UCF's 4.0 maximum.
