University Regulations - Retention, Dismissal and Re-Enrollment

Catalogue Change: 8/10/2023

Academic Probation and Dismissal Section is being replaced by:

Academic Standing Policy

The academic standing policy is designed to keep students on track to degree completion.

Academic standing is calculated to determine a student’s eligibility to enroll in courses. There are four academic standings: Good, Concerning, Warning, and Appeal Required. Students will be notified of their academic standing. Academic programming may be required, as per each college’s discretion, for students who are not in good standing.

Good

All new students will begin with a standing of Good. Students who earn a 2.000 or higher cumulative GPA will continue to have a standing of Good and may enroll in fall, spring, or summer courses.

Concerning

Students who begin a semester with a standing of Good and earn less than a 2.000 cumulative GPA during that semester will have a standing of Concerning. Students with a standing of Concerning may enroll in fall, spring, or summer courses. Students who begin a semester with a standing of Concerning and earn a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or above will return to Good standing.

Warning

Students who begin a semester with a standing of Concerning and do not earn a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or above will progress to a standing of Warning. Students with a standing of Warning may enroll in fall, spring, or summer courses. Students who begin a semester with a standing of Warning and earn a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or above will return to Good standing.

Appeal Required

Students who begin a semester with a standing of Warning and do not earn a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or above will progress to a standing of Appeal Required and will not be permitted to enroll in courses and any registered courses may be dropped. Students with a standing of Appeal Required who wish to re-enroll must submit an appeal requesting permission to enroll in courses. This appeal will go to a campus-wide Academic Standing Appeal committee that consists of Deans or their delegates, the Director of University College, the Director Financial Aid and Scholarships, the Dean of Students, and the Registrar. Students must meet with their advisor to begin the appeal. While appeals will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the year, to enter a specific term, students must submit the appeal 10 business days before the drop/add deadline.

The standings above determine eligibility to enroll in courses at UNCW; however, they do not determine eligibility to enroll in specific programs or colleges.
