ACADEMIC STANDING
The academic standing of a student is determined at the end of each regular semester, on the basis of the grades
received as well as the student’s cumulative graduate GPA. The student’s semester or cumulative graduate GPA
includes grades of courses at the -400level or above which have been completed after enrolling in the graduate
program at UAEU. Grades in graduate courses taken at other institutions and approved for transfer to the UAEU are not
included in the student’s graduate GPA.
Good Academic Standing
A graduate student whose cumulative graduate GPA is 3.00 or higher at the end of a regular academic semester is in
Good Academic Standing.
Academic Probation
If a graduate student’s semester GPA at the end of any semester is below 3.00, this student’s registration for the
subsequent semester will be put on a hold. The Advisor will remove a registration hold of his/her student after meeting
with the student and developing a plan for the student to raise his/her GPA. The plan will restrict the student to enroll in
a maximum of 9 credits hours for the semester and may include measures such as repeating courses with low grades
and restricting registration to certain courses.
A graduate student whose cumulative GPA at the end of any semester is below 3.00 will be placed on Academic
Probation, and this student’s registration for the subsequent semester will be put on a hold that can be removed by the
student’s Advisor after a meeting with the student.
A graduate student who is on Academic Probation and whose semester GPA at the end of the semester is below 3.00
will receive second academic probation.
Academic Dismissal
A graduate student who is on second academic probation and whose semester GPA at the end of the semester is
below 3.00 will be dismissed from the University. A graduate student who fails two or more graduate courses in a single
semester is dismissed from the University.
