Level I
A student enrolled in any of the WAU undergraduate schools/programs whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) is less than 2.0 at the end of any semester will be required to participate in a “Level I” academic success program. The Betty Howard Center for Student Success staff and the student’s academic adviser will monitor his/her progress and impose limitations on class load (no more than 13 credits). A student with Level I status is ineligible for appointed or elective office in student organizations and may not participate in more than one co-curricular campus activity. The Level I standing is removed when a GPA of 2.0 is achieved.
Level II
A student on academic warning who fails to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 while engaged in the “Level I” academic success program will be required to participate in the more formal process of a “Level II” academic success program. He/she must consult with an academic adviser and with the staff in the Betty Howard Center for Student Success regarding course selection which will include a study skills course. Limitation on class load (no more than 13 credits) will be enforced.
The student is also required to consult with a counselor regarding issues that may be interfering with academic success and present evidence of this to the Betty Howard Center for Student Success staff before the end of the second week of the semester. He/she is ineligible for appointed or elective office in student organizations and may not participate in more than one co-curricular campus activity.
Level III
Any student involved in the Level II process, whose cumulative GPA remains below a 2.0 will have a hold put on their record preventing further enrollment. Students may submit an appeal in writing to Fitzroy Thomas, chair of the Academic Appeals and Academic Integrity Committee.
At the end of the Fall semester, students at risk of failing to succeed in raising their cumulative GPA to a 2.0 will be notified of this pending determination. The Level III period will be implemented at the end of the Spring semester. Students who meet the cumulative 2.0 GPA requirement during this Spring semester will fulfill the suspension remediation requirements and therefore be restored to satisfactory academic standing and allowed to progress at WAU.
At the end of the Spring semester, students at risk of failing to raise their cumulative GPA to a 2.0 will be notified of this pending determination. The Level III period will be implemented immediately. The suspended student must withdraw from WAU for one semester and complete at least nine semester hours of transferable credits at another college or university, earning at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA before becoming eligible to apply for readmission to WAU.
In addition, prior to reapplication to the university and during the semester of disenrollment, participating students will meet at least twice with either the dean or associate dean of the Betty Howard Center in order to identify and establish an ongoing student success plan for the student to complete their academic program.
APPEAL | Any appeal of academic suspension should be made in writing to Fitzroy Thomas | Chair, Academic Appeals and Academic Integrity Committee | fthomas@wau.edu
STUDENT CONTACT INFORMATION: It is the responsibility of all students to update their contact information in the Office of the Registrar so that timely information can be communicated to them. WAU will not be responsible if students fail to receive communication sent to the street or email address that is on file.
