culated by the Rules Committee and presented by Dr. Criswell, to become effective

Scholastic Probation, Academic Suspension,
and Reinstatement

 

“WOOd ‘? 1. General regulations for undergraduate students:

an i a. The scholastic probation and academic suspension systems are based
ton, ' on quality point deficit. The base for determining the deficit is
x the number of quality points which would result from multiplying
aw?!) the number of hours attempted by two. Deficit is the difference,
Wfi‘ if any, between this base and the number of quality points earned.

’ i Undergraduate Colleges:

shall not be repeated for credit hours or quality points, except
for those courses for which repeated registration is provided in

the official course description.

§
i b. Courses which have been completed with a grade of ”B” or better
i

ited. (
f A student shall have the option to repeat once as many as
‘atEd' three different courses which have been completed with a grade of
, C, D, or E with only the grade, credit hours, and quality points
lation [ for the second completion used in computing the student's academic
.ted 3 standing and credit for graduation. If a student officially with—
s [ draws from the second attempt, then the grade, credit hours, and
quality points for the first completion shall constitute the grade
‘ in that course for official purposes, and the second attempt shall , i]:
[ constitute exhaustion of one of the three options to repeat a course ‘ i.
lkwgb under this provision unless at the time of withdrawal permission to ‘x
l

 

 

again attempt the same course shall be granted by the instructor and
the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled.

2. Scholastic probation:

a. The academic record of each freshman student will be reviewed after
his first full semester, and unless he demonstrates that he cannot
or will not do satisfactory work, the dean shall either place the

f student on scholastic probation or warn the student if the above

rule would normally apply. The record will again be reviewed after
the first full academic year and the probation rule applied if

’ the student is deficient by more than 5 quality points.

‘ b. The following undergraduate student shall be placed on scholastic

{ probation by the dean of his college:
hirémw’ (1) Except for first semester freshmen, a student who, at the end

of any semester or session, has a cumulative deficit in excess
of 5 quality points.

(2) A student who has earned a total of 90 semester hours (senior

standing) or more and has a cumulative grade point standing
less than 2.0.

The following undergraduate student shall be removed from probation by
the dean of his college:

a. A student on scholastic probation, who has not earned 90 semester hours
(senior standing), and who at the end of a semester or session has
reduced his cumulative deficit to 5 quality points or less.

b. A student on scholastic probation, who has earned 90 semester hours
(senior standing), and who at the end of a semester or session has a
cumulative grade point standing of 2.0.

The following undergraduate student who has not previously been academically
suspended shall be subject to academic suspension from the University, but

a dean may continue a student on scholastic probation if the individual

case justifies it:

a. A student who acquires an additional deficit in excess of 5 quality
points during any semester or session while on scholastic probation.

b. A student who has a cumulative deficit in excess of 15 quality points
at the end of any semester or session while on scholastic probation.

c. A student who has been on scholastic probation for three consecutive
semesters.

d. A student who demonstrates that he cannot or will not do satisfactory
work.

A student who has been academically suspended shall, upon reinstatement, be

placed on scholastic probation and be subject to final academic suspension
from the University if:

a. He acquires any additional deficit during any semester or session while
he is on scholastic probation.

b. He has not reduced his deficit by 8 quality points or eliminated it by
the end of the second semester following his reinstatement.

c. He has failed to meet the requirements for removal from scholastic pro—
bation by the end of the third semester following his reinstatement.

be subject to the same conditions for subsequent academic suspension as a
student who has not previously been academically suspended.

A student who is under academic suspension may not enroll in any courses
offered by the University of Kentucky.

After he has remained out of the University for at least a semester and a
summer session (a semester for a student academically suspended at the

end of a summer session) a student who has been academically suspended may
be reinstated by the dean of the college in which he plans to enroll when
he presents evidence that he is capable of performing at the level required
to prevent being suspended a second time.

program may be reinstated only for the purpose of enrolling in a terminal
associate degree program and shall be declared a "non—degree student”
'when he presents evidence that he is capable of performing at the level
required to complete the program. In no event shall credit be given or
transferred for baccalaureate courses taken during such period if the
student is later reinstated in the University for the purpose of enrolling
