  1. Rebound Undergraduate Studies Students on Academic Probation

  2. Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this presentation you should: • understand the University’s policies on probation, suspension, and reinstatement • be aware of resources on campus to assist with academic, career, and personal concerns. • know what is expected of students new on probation in Undergraduate Studies

  3. Scholastic Probation Students are placed on scholastic probation if: • their cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0. • they have two consecutivesemester GPAs below 2.0, regardless of their cumulative GPA.

  4. Academic Suspension Students are subject to suspension if: • they fail to earn a 2.0 semester GPA for any term while on probation. • they have three consecutive semesters in which their cumulative GPA remains below 2.0. • without a preliminary probationary semester their GPA is below 0.6 after their first term, if the semester's GPA is based on at least 9 hours of grades A, B, C, D or E.

  7. When suspended A student: • must remain out of the University for a semester and a summer session to be eligible to apply for reinstatement. • may apply for reinstatement, but acceptance is not guaranteed. Applying for reinstatement is separate from applying for admissions. There is no immediate or automatic reinstatement to the University! Reinstated students must also apply for readmission.

  8. Reinstatement Students interested in returning to UK following an academic suspension must first apply to be reinstated to the University by following this procedure: • Remain out of the University for at least a semester and a summer session. • Apply for reinstatement by contacting the college in which they plan to re-enroll between February 1 - May 15 for the next Fall and September 1 – October 1 for the next Spring. These dates occur early within the sit-out semester! • Attend a reinstatement conference appointment. • If approved for reinstatement, submit a completed Admissions application to UK. Contact UK Admissions for admission deadlines at (859) 257-2000 or Admissions web site.

  9. How to Calculate Your GPA DEFINITIONS: • Semester GPA Includes grades from a specific term, for example, Fall 2007. • Cumulative GPA Includes grades earned in all the terms you have been enrolled. • Quality Hours (QH) = total number of hours for courses in which you receive a grade of A, B, C, D, or E. • Quality Points (QP) = number of credit hours per course multiplied by the value of the grade received (see example on next slide). Grade Values: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; E=0 The GPA is equal to the number of Quality Points (QP) divided by the number of Quality Hours (QH). • Pass/Fail courses do not figure in GPA calculations; neither do courses from which you have withdrawn and received a W.

  10. Sample GPA Calculation 26 QP divided by 13 QH equals 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA)

  11. Activity:Use GPA Calculator • Determine the minimum GPA you need next semester to bring your cumulative GPA to a 2.0. • Use your unofficial transcript on myUK and the GPA calculator on UK’s Registrar’s website, http://www.uky.edu/Registrar/GPAcalc.htm .

  13. Repeat Options • A student is allowed 3 “repeat options” while an undergraduate student at UK. • Only the first grade in a course can be removed from your GPA. The repeat option makes only the second grade count in your GPA. Additional attempts are not eligible for repeat options. • A student wishing to use a repeat option must fill out a "Repeat Option Form" to remove the first grade from your GPA. Forms can be picked up in Miller Hall and must be signed by your advisor. • A student may exercise the repeat option at any time prior to graduation and must be enrolled at UK.

  28. What to Strive for: Academic Good Standing Cumulative GPA at or above a 2.0 Dean’s List Semester GPA at or above a 3.6 on 12 credits of “letter” grades (no incompletes)

  29. While on probation All students on probation in Undergraduate Studies have a probation stop and are required to complete the five-step "Rebound” Academic Recovery program online. The probation stop will be removed when you’ve submitted your Rebound materials and consulted your academic advisor for appropriate schedule changes. To keep the probation stop off, your must attend all scheduled probation appointments as determined by you and your advisor and you must attend a College Event by midterm. The probation stop will prevent a student from making scheduling changes in a current semester or registering for another semester on myUK.
