View the University Senate Bylaws on Academic Standing.
Academic Standing is an identification of students whose scholastic performance is below University standards. The student and the student’s advisor are informed that a marked academic improvement in future semesters is necessary to obtain the minimum academic standards.
Students are on academic notice for the next semester in which they are enrolled if their academic performance is such that they are included in any of the following conditions:
- Students who have earned less than a 2.0 semester grade point average or cumulative grade point average.
- Continuing students whose cumulative grade point average is below a 2.0 but who have earned a 2.3 semester GPA or higher in their most recent regular (fall or spring) semester.
The end of the semester is defined as the day when semester grades must be submitted to the Registrar. This must occur no later than seventy-two hours after the final examination period ends.
The academic status of undergraduate students at the University of Connecticut is determined by their semester and cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) at the conclusion of each semester. Earned grades of A through to F are used to calculate the GPA. A student placed on Academic Notice with unresolved grades will be relieved of their academic notice if satisfactory completion of the work places his or her academic performance above the academic standing standards. Grades, including T, I, X, N, U, P@, F@, S, U, AU and W, do not earn grade points and are not factored into the GPA calculations.
CLAS Requirements
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students who are placed on academic notice will have the following conditions attached to their enrollment:
- There is a 14 credit limit on their account and they must adjust their credits by the 10th day of classes or the ASC will adjust their schedule for them.
- The student is required to fill out an Academic Success Plan.
- The student is required to meet with an ASC success advisor in the Academic Services Center during the semester. Students must complete the Academic Success Plan PRIOR to meeting with an ASC success advisor. After the 10th day of classes an enrollment hold will be placed on their account, which will only be lifted once they’ve met with an Academic Services Center success advisor.
