Senate Resolution 97/98-03: Academic Action Threshold

Whereas: A central goal of UAH is educating students; and

Whereas: Many successful students struggle when they first enter a

university; and,

Whereas: The Academic Action Threshold is the minimum GPA below

which a student will be subject to academic warning, probation,

or dismissal, and

Whereas: Students whose GPA falls below the Academic Action

Threshold (AAT) might, and do, leave UAH because i) they are

subject to academic disciplinary action or ii) students who are

not in good standing can lose their financial aid; and

Whereas: The present AAT at UAH is 2.0 for all students, and

Whereas: A graduated AAT would set different standards for students at

different stages in their academic career, and

Whereas: A graduated AAT would allow students time to improve their

academic standing; and

Whereas: A graduated AAT would allow additional time for advisors to

assist students,

Therefore let it be resolved that:

The AAT for students with 1 - 32 hours credit be set at 1.6,

and the AAT for students with 33 - 64 hours credit be set at

1.8, and the AAT for students with 65 + hours credit remain

at 2.0.
