University of Calgary : 3.4 Student Standing

3.4 Student Standing

Academic Standing

The academic performance of Kinesiology students who have completed at least six half-course equivalents in the preceding Fall and Winter Terms will be reviewed following each Winter Term.

Students who have completed fewer than six half-course equivalents since their previous review will be evaluated at a subsequent annual review when they have completed a total of six or more half-course equivalents. All courses taken since the previous review of a student will be included.

Students attaining a GPA of less than 2.00 (as outlined above) will be required to withdraw from the Faculty subject to the right of written appeal to the Kinesiology Appeals Committee. Such appeals must be received no later than June 30 of the academic year.

Failure to achieve a minimum grade of "C-" in a required prerequisite course after two attempts will also result in immediate required withdrawal from the Faculty.

Probation and Readmission

1. Probationary status is not available in Kinesiology, unless students are successful in appealing their "required to withdraw" status.

2. Probationary status carries the stipulation that a student must achieve a GPA of 2.00 or higher in each term until probation is cleared. Failure to maintain a GPA of 2.00 in any term, regardless of course load, will result in required withdrawal.

Probationary status will be cleared when a student has completed the equivalent of five half courses with an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher.

3. Any student required to withdraw from the Faculty for unsatisfactory academic performance may be considered for readmission after 12 or more months have elapsed from the date of withdrawal. Such students will be placed on probationary status upon readmission.

Re-applicants must satisfy the governing admission requirements (including grade point standards) for the year in which they re-apply. Such students should consult with advisors in the Student Programs Office for further information.

4. A student required to withdraw from an Honours program under conditions of unsatisfactory academic performance is normally ineligible for readmission to an Honours program. However, the student may be admitted to a regular BKin or BSc program.

Dean's List

The Dean's List recognizes the outstanding academic achievement of students in the Faculty of Kinesiology. To be included, a student must achieve a GPA of at least 3.60 over a minimum of eight half-course equivalents completed in the preceding Fall and Winter Terms at the University of Calgary.
