(Dan Tri) - At some schools, students forced to drop out due to poor academic performance can apply to be considered or register for a lower level program.

In just a short period of time, two universities in Ho Chi Minh City have forced thousands of students to drop out and warn them due to poor academic results.

At Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, hundreds of students were forced to drop out or received academic warnings due to poor academic results in the second semester of the 2023-2024 school year.

Of these, 41 cases were forced to drop out of school and 75 cases were given academic warnings, all stemming from poor academic results.

According to regulations of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, students are given academic warning based on a number of conditions such as the total number of failed credits in the semester exceeds 50% of the registered credits in the semester, or the total number of outstanding credits from the beginning of the course exceeds 24 credits;

At Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, this school year, about 2,000 students from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 classes from many majors were expelled, warned, and placed on academic probation.

There are 88 students forced to drop out of school due to their average score of two consecutive semesters (semester 1 and semester 2 of the 2023-2024 school year) being below 1.0 or having the required number of credits.

In addition, nearly 1,000 students are expected to be placed on academic warning due to having a second semester GPA below 1.0. More than 900 other students are also on probation due to poor academic performance and credit debt.

According to the regulations of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, the school conducts academic warning and academic probation at the end of each main semester.

Students are placed on academic warning if their GPA is below 0.8 for the first semester of the course; below 1.0 for subsequent semesters.
