Students working at desks in slc

All students are responsible for checking their academic standing at the end of each term once grades have been released.

Your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) should always be at least a minimum of 1.67.

Below you will find a summary of the university-wide policies and procedures; please review academic standing definitions and grade calculations.

What does this mean?

Your CGPA is at least 1.67.

What do I do now?

You may continue your program studies.

What does this mean?

Your CGPA is 1.00 to 1.66.

What do I do now?

  1. First Meeting (before first class): Share completed agreement (external link)  on Google and  (google doc) meet with advisor (external link) .
  2. Second Meeting (first two weeks): Meet learning strategist, and check out Get Clear, Student Care and Student Wellbeing.
  3. Third Meeting (final drop with good standing): Update agreement and  (google doc) meet with advisor (external link) .

What do I do now?

Option one: Appeal standing

All of your classes and course intentions/change courses will be de-registered once your standing is RTW.  If you would like to take courses and intend on submitting an appeal:

  1. Prepare an appeal submission by the deadline. 
  2. If you intend on taking subsequent Spring/Summer courses, submit the  (google form) Standing Appeal Notification Form (external link)  to have the RTW hold lifted, pending the appeal decision. You are responsible for re-enrolling into classes.  

Option two: Apply to the Fresh Start program

1. Register for the Fresh Start program:

  • Once you are RTW you may take a term off and apply for the Fresh Start skills-building course in the following term.
  • While you are enrolled in Fresh Start, you can only take a maximum of two courses.
  • If you successfully complete Fresh Start, you may proceed to EAP2 (restricted to three courses) and must maintain a 1.67 TGPA.

2. First Meeting (before first class): Share completed EAP agreement (external link)  on Google and  (google doc) meet with advisor (external link) 

3. Second Meeting (first two weeks): Meet learning strategist, and/or check out Get Clear, Student Care and Student Wellbeing.

4. Third Meeting (final drop with good standing): Update agreement and  (google doc) meet with advisor (external link) .

What does this mean?

  • You were reinstated into your program after being Required to Withdraw and you did not fulfill the conditions under which you were reinstated,
  • You received a second Required to Withdraw standing, or
  • You failed a required course for the third time.

What do I do now?

  1. Confirm intention to appeal standing with advisor (see academic appeals (external link) ).
