This proposal contains two suggested revisions to the Scholastic Standards in the areas of Academic Warning and Academic Probation:
Academic Warning Exisitng Policy:
A student with a UNA institutional GPA of less than 1.60 who has attempted fewer than 18 semester hours will be placed on academic warning for the following semester. If at the end of the semester of academic warning the student does not reach the minimum UNA Institutional GPA listed below, the student will be placed on academic probation.
Proposed Revision to Academic Warning:
- Any undergraduate student who has attempted fewer than 18 hours at UNA with a UNA Institutional GPA less than 2.00 will be placed on Academic Warning.
- Any undergraduate student who has attempted more than 18 hours at UNA whose term GPA falls below a 2.00 but has a minimum Institutional GPA of 2.00 or above, will be placed on Academic Warning.
Academic Probation Exisiting Policy:
A student will be placed on academic probation at the end of any term in which the student’s UNA institutional GPA falls below the following:
Classification (Cumulative Hours) UNA Institutional GPA
Freshman (0-29) 1.60
Sophomore (30-59) 1.85
Junior (60-89) 1.95
Senior (90 or above) 2.00
Probationary status may be removed by achieving the minimum UNA institutional GPA for the student’s classification. If on the work for which enrolled in the probationary term the student achieves a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher but remains below the minimum UNA institutional GPA required for the student’s classification, probation is continued.
Proposed Revision to Academic Probation:
- Any undergraduate student who has attempted more than 18 hours at UNA will be placed on academic probation at the end of any semester in which the student’s UNA institutional GPA falls below 2.00. Probationary status may be removed by achieving a minimum UNA institutional GPA of 2.00 or above. If a student on probation achieves a term GPA of 2.00 or higher, but remains below the minimum UNA institutional GPA of 2.00, probation is continued.
