Academic Standing for Main Campus Students
Probation
Full time students who have an institutional cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will be placed on scholastic probation. Students on scholastic probation may be required to meet and complete a learning contract that maps specific requirements for the subsequent semester. Learning contracts may limit the hours of enrollment, require the student to attend tutoring sessions and/or have other stipulations that the advisor has determined will assist the student in his/her path to graduation. This decision will be made by the Associate Provost of Academic Support and/or the Provost of the University.
Suspension
Students who earn a semester GPA of less than 2.0 in two consecutive semesters and have a cumulative institutional GPA of less than 2.0 will be notified that they are on enforced withdrawal and suspended from the University of the Incarnate Word. Notification of suspension will be sent from the office of the Associate Provost of Academic Support to the student’s official University Cardinal e-mail address. Students who are on suspension from the University will be withdrawn from all classes and will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters. Students who are on Enforced Withdrawal for the first time may appeal to the Associate Provost of Academic Support for an additional semester to improve the GPA. If such an appeal is granted, the student must complete a learning contract and will be placed on Waived Withdrawal. If the student is on Waived Withdrawal and does not meet the terms of the learning contract, the student is then suspended with no appeal.
Students who are required to withdraw from the University may apply for readmission after a minimum of one term of productive activity, preferably academic. Such readmission requires the approval of the Associate Provost of Academic Support.
Part-time students who fail to earn a C (2.0) in any six semester hours out of 12 semester hours attempted may be required to withdraw from the University. Part-time students enrolled for at least six credits and with a GPA below 2.0 may be placed on probation.
