This might sound like a ridiculous question, but do any schools have "minimum" GPAs required to "stay" in a Bachelor's program?
I know that some majors have GPA requirements to get into their programs, and remember some people having to put off their official "declaration" by one or two semesters until they reached the minimum.

We have those. Depending on your major, you couldn't get into it until you had the min. The ed majors had the highest. I'm pretty sure to get into Early Childhood, you needed a 3.6 or 7. The other higher entry GPA majors were Interior Design, Architecture, and Graphic Design.
Whether your major had a min. or not, each college/school had a min. GPA requirement in order to receive a degree from that school. Ex: You needed a 3.0 in your major courses to get a degree from the college of business.
As far as how long you could be in school and get a low GPA: The first semester you got below a 2.0, you were placed on academic probation. If you received a 2.0 the NEXT semester, you were exited from the university.
