The university expects all students to strive for excellence in learning and in living. WAU requires students to place a high priority on their scholastic program and consistently meet or exceed the minimum academic standards required for staying in college and for graduation.
Provisions for Individual Differences
The university realizes that individual differences exist among students in their educational background, academic potential, personal growth and development, motivation, learning styles and study habits. In view of this, WAU is committed to assisting eligible students in meeting the rigorous demands of obtaining a college education.
The advisers, the provost and the Academic Appeals and Academic Integrity Committee carefully examine the overall progress of the students. Appreciation and encouragement are directed toward those whose performance exhibits progress and excellence.
For those who are not progressing satisfactorily, remedial measures are required. Should these measures prove ineffective, students are asked to meet with their advisers to reassess their academic pathway and other viable career options. Opportunities for re-enrollment are extended only to those who show appropriate evidence that further studies can be handled satisfactorily.
Academic Honors
At the conclusion of the first and second semesters of the school year, students who have earned a minimum of 12 semester hours and have attained the following grade-point averages will be included in the honors group indicated:
3.50 Dean’s List
3.25 Honor Roll
These honors are based on the current semester’s GPA only, not on the cumulative GPA. Students in the undergraduate programs in the School of Graduate and Professional Studies who have carried a minimum of nine semester hours per semester will be included in the respective honor groups listed above if they earn the specified grade-point averages. They will be recorded at the conclusion of the first and second semesters of the school year. Honors are not recorded for summer terms.
