In order to be in good academic standing, students must maintain a grade point average above the Academic Action Threshold (AAT), which varies according to classification. For students with 0-32 credit hours, the AAT is 1.6; for students with 33-64 credit hours, the AAT is 1.8; for students with 65 or more credit hours, the AAT is 2.0. A student whose semester GPA at UAH falls below the applicable AAT will be placed on academic warning, probation, or dismissal.
Students are subject to academic warning
1. if they are in good standing and earn less than the applicable AAT for the semester; or
2. if they earn the applicable AAT or greater for the semester but the UAH cumulative is less than the applicable AAT.
Students are subject to academic probation if they are on academic warning and the current semester GPA is less than the applicable AAT and the UAH cumulative is less than the applicable AAT.
Students are subject to academic dismissal if they are on academic probation and the current semester GPA is less than the applicable AAT and the UAH cumulative is less than the applicable AAT.
A regularly admitted student dismissed for the first time is automatically eligible to re-enter after being out of school one term. A student admitted in any special category and dismissed for the first time must petition the Admissions Committee for permission to re-enter after an absence of at least one term. A student dismissed for the second time is disqualified for readmission. After a period of one year, such student may petition for re-admission. Individual colleges may have additional requirements specific to their programs. Refer to college sections.
Students admitted conditionally or on probation will be evaluated for regular student status after completion of at least 15 semester hours at UAH. If the student at that time has earned a 2.00 on all UAH coursework, the conditional/Probational classification will be changed to regular student status.
A nondegree student will be evaluated for regular admission when all necessary regular admission application materials are received by the Office of Admissions.
