To clarify:
* Passing individual courses: Each course has its own passing grade (e.g., a C or higher). Failure in one or more courses might lead to academic probation, but not necessarily immediate expulsion.
* Graduation: A minimum cumulative GPA is necessary to graduate. This requirement is institution-specific.
* Maintaining good standing: Colleges typically have standards for maintaining academic good standing (e.g., a minimum GPA and progress towards graduation). Failure to meet these can lead to probation or dismissal.
Always check your college's specific catalog or student handbook for their requirements.
