If the academic standards don't get them, the inability to get further FA will. Usually they fail FA standards before they fail academic standards (for one thing we count everything...took you 3 tries to pass Maths 100? We have to calculate your 2 Fs...or withdrawals or whatever) along with your successful completion, when we check for the obligatory satisfactory progress regulations.
