Good Standing
Good standing status denotes that a student is eligible to continue in or
to return to The University.
Academic Progress
Undergraduate students will be considered to be making normal progress
toward a degree if their cumulative grade-point average for all work attempted
at The University of Arizona is not less than 2.000.
Minimum Grade-Point-Average Required for Continued Enrollment
One of the requirements for students to be eligible to continue at the
University is that they earn minimum cumulative averages as follows:

|
Fewer than 14 units |
1.750 |
From 14 through 26 units |

Academic Warning Status
(Policy revised 2/10/06. As of Fall 2006, Academic
Warning is no longer in effect. Students in all catalogs are subject to the
Academic Probation policy stated in the 2006-07 Catalog:
http://catalog.arizona.edu/2006-07/policies/acaprog.htm#Probation).
Freshmen who have completed fewer than 14 units at the University with a
University of Arizona cumulative grade-point average between 1.750 and 2.000,
or who have completed from 14 through 26 units at the University with a
University of Arizona cumulative grade-point average of between 1.840 and
2.000 will be on academic warning status. Academic warning status invokes no
academic penalties and will not be indicated on the student's permanent
record. This status serves as a warning to students beginning their college
careers that their performance is below the level required for successful
completion of an academic program. Students in this status are strongly urged
to seek academic counseling.
Probation, Academic
Students not meeting the standards of normal progress or academic warning
status will be on academic probation. Students on academic probation are
subject to such restrictions with respect to courses and extracurricular
activities as may be imposed by the academic dean of the college in which the
student is enrolled. Students are removed from probation upon earning the
minimum cumulative grade-point average required by the table listed under
"Minimum Grade-Point Average Required" above.
(See the Dean of Student's,
Code
of Conduct Policies, Sanctions section for Disciplinary Probation
information.)
Disqualification
Disqualification is of two types: from a particular college in the
University or from the University. A student may be academically disqualified
only after two consecutive regular semesters of not meeting the standards of
normal progress (cumulative grade-point average of 2.0) or academic warning
status; or under conditions described below under "Probation or
Disqualification by Special Action".
The student recommended for disqualification from a particular college may
seek immediate admission to another college in the University. Permission for
admission to another college must be obtained in writing from the dean of the
college into which the student plans to transfer. The letter of permission
should be presented to the Office of the Registrar. Ordinarily permission will
be granted only if the student plans to pursue a modified program in a
curriculum of the new college and has demonstrated ability warranting such
action. Those who have been given college disqualification are strongly urged
to seek thorough academic and vocational counseling and guidance. Failure to
secure approval to transfer to another college in the University is tantamount
to university disqualification and the rules governing this type of
disqualification then will apply. A disqualified student may not attend the
University as a non-degree student.
A student disqualified from a particular college who may have secured
subsequent permission to register in another college is automatically on
academic probation in the new college. A student may be granted college
disqualification only once in his or her academic career. Any later
disqualification will be considered a university disqualification.
University Disqualification
A student who receives university disqualification is restricted from
registering at The University of Arizona and may return to the University only
on the basis of evidence that underlying conditions have materially improved
and that he or she is now capable of academic success. Students seeking
readmission who left the University on academic probation or under
disqualification must receive approval from the dean of the college they wish
to enter prior to readmission.
Probation or Disqualification by Special Action
Upon recommendation of the dean of the college, a student may be placed on
academic probation or may be disqualified at any time for neglect of academic
work.
Credit Restrictions for Students under University
Disqualification
(Policy revised 9/11/06. As of Fall 2006, there is
no reference to correspondence enrollment. Students in all catalogs are
subject to the Academic Disqualification policy stated in the 2006-07
Catalog:
http://catalog.arizona.edu/2006-07/policies/acaprog.htm#University%20Disqualification)
Students who are under disqualification from the University may not take
University of Arizona courses for credit or establish credit by examination
during their periods of disqualification, although they may remove incomplete
grades. With the permission of the college dean concerned, students who have
been disqualified from the University may register for correspondence
enrollment.
