Academic Standing for School of Professional Studies Students
Probation
Full time students who have an institutional cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will be placed on scholastic probation. Students who wish to continue at the University must have subsequent terms where their GPA is above 2.0. If not, the student may not be allowed to continue enrollment at the University of the Incarnate Word. Students will be notified of their academic standing at their official University Cardinal e-mail address.
Suspension
Students who earn a term GPA of less than 2.0 in two consecutive terms and have a cumulative institutional GPA of less than 2.0 will be suspended from the University of the Incarnate Word. Notification of suspension will be sent from the Office of the Dean of the School of Professional Studies. Students who are on suspension from the University will be withdrawn from all classes and will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters.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 on suspension may apply for readmission after one year of productive activity, preferably academic. Readmission requires a letter from the student indicating what they have done in the year off and how they are now prepared to be successful, as well as an application for readmission. If readmission is granted, the student will be conditionally admitted and will be expected to maintain a GPA of 2.0 or greater in subsequent terms. A student may appeal the Suspension status by sending a letter to the Office of the Dean of the School of Professional Studies, as appropriate. The student will be notified of the appeal decision by an e-mail from the Office of the Dean.
