University of Calgary Calendar 2015-2016 Faculty of Kinesiology 3. Faculty Regulations 3.4 Student Standing
3.4 Student Standing
Academic Standing

The academic performance of Kinesiology students who have completed at least 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) in the preceding Fall and Winter Terms will be reviewed following each Winter Term.

Students who have completed fewer than 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) since their previous review will be evaluated at a subsequent annual review when they have completed a total of 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents). All courses taken, including transfer courses, since the previous review of a student will be included.

Students attaining a GPA of less than 2.00 will be required to withdraw from the Faculty subject to the right of written appeal to the Kinesiology Appeals Committee. Students are referred to the general University regulations regarding Unsatisfactory Standing under F. Academic Standing in the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar.

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 only available in Kinesiology, subsequent to a successful appeal of a student's "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 30 units (5.0 full-course equivalents) with an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher.

3. Students required to withdraw from the Faculty of Kinesiology for unsatisfactory academic performance must wait a minimum of 12 months from the date of withdrawal to re-apply, at which time they will be considered for admission at the next admission cycle together with new transfer applicants. Re-applicants will be required to meet the transfer admission standards prior to being readmitted. Students who are readmitted after having been required to withdraw from the Faculty of Kinesiology will be placed on probation for the next term in which they register.

4. Students required to withdraw from an Honours program under conditions of unsatisfactory academic performance will be deemed ineligible for readmission to an Honours program. However, the student may be admitted to a 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 24 units (4.0 full-course equivalents), graded, completed in the preceding Fall and Winter Terms at the University of Calgary. Students on academic sanction are not eligible for the Dean’s List.
