titleAcademic Standing - Traditional Undergraduate Degree-Seeking Students

ACADEMIC PROBATION

  • Students are placed on academic probation when they are not in good academic standing as outlined above.
  • Academic probation serves as a warning to students that their academic progress is not satisfactory, and that they should take steps to improve their academic performance to avoid future academic probation or academic suspension from the university.
  • Part-time student progression to probation (or to suspension) is determined in proportion to the student’s academic load. As such, a part-time student needs to have accumulated enough attempted credits between one or more semesters before being considered for academic probation or academic suspension.
  • A student, while on academic probation, is
    • required to attend a meeting with an Academic Achievement Program Manager to set up a strategic plan for the semester, and to participate in bi-weekly academic coaching sessions
    • required to meet with their advisor to set up an academic course plan
    • required to repeat previously failed courses, if available and still needed in the student’s academic program, unless guided differently by the student’s academic advisor
    • strongly encouraged to take the STS0009 Study Strategies course
  • A student on academic probation who does not achieve good academic standing as outlined above but does earn a minimum 2.000 or above semester GPA will continue on academic probation for another semester and may continue taking UNW courses.
  • If a student on academic probation earns at the end of the subsequent semester or term the minimum or better cumulative GPA based on Academic Standing requirements, the student will be placed back on good academic standing.

titleAcademic Standing - Traditional Undergraduate Degree-Seeking Students

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION

  • A student who is not in good academic standing at the end of two consecutive semesters or does not have the minimum 2.000 semester GPA at the end of the probationary semester will be academically suspended for one semester.
  • A matriculated student who does not have a minimum 1.000 semester GPA by the end of their first semester at UNW will be academically suspended for one semester.
  • While academically suspended, a student may take up to 4 UNW credits in a semester through the Traditional Undergraduate, Adult Undergraduate, or Dual Enrollment venues.
  • Suspended students may also take courses at other accredited colleges but only the credits from those courses may transfer to Northwestern. The grades from other colleges have no impact upon the student’s Northwestern GPA.
  • Part-time student progression to probation (or to suspension) is determined in proportion to the student’s academic load. As such, a part-time student needs to have accumulated enough attempted credits between one or more semesters before being considered for academic probation or academic suspension.
  • After being away for one semester, an academically suspended student may seek re‐enrollment.

titleAcademic Suspension - Readmission of Academically Suspended Students

READMISSION

A student who has been academically suspended may petition for readmission to the University one semester after termination. Summer session is not counted in the required one semester. Evidence must be supplied to support the request. The best evidence is at least 4 credits of college-level academic work completed with a grade(s) of B- or above.
