Progress Reports
We know you invest your time and money at UT Arlington. That's why we want to support your academic success at every point in your educational journey. As part of this commitment, the University asks instructors to provide mid-semester progress reports for certain groups of students between the sixth and eighth week of classes.
The instructors report letter grades based on a student's performance to that point in the semester. The Office of Records compiles the grades and sends them to students through the Student Center on MyMav.
In some cases, the instructor has not given a test or quiz, required any homework assignments to be turned in or required any other means to establish a grade, and cannot report a grade prior to the eighth week of the semester. In these circumstances, a grade of X (no composite score available) or N (not submitted by the instructor) will be assigned. Should you receive either an X or an N, contact your instructor to learn how you are progressing in your course.
Who receives progress reports?
Progress reports are sent to
- all first-time, first-year freshman students.
- all first-year transfer students.
- all undeclared students.
- students with Academic Standing codes of Academic Warning, Dismissal 1, Dismissal 2, Probation or Probation Continued.
- students with less than a 2.25 cumulative grade-point average.
Will these grades appear on my permanent academic record?
No. Only your final course grade is recorded on your transcript.
Why was I given a progress report?
Progress reports are intended to support you in your coursework, alerting you when you are not making the grade. The system is designed to help you take corrective action early enough in the semester so you can still succeed in the course.
How do I view my progress report?
To view your progress reports you will need to log into your Student MyMav account.
- To access MyMav, click on "MY MAV" in the upper-left corner of the UTA Home page.
- Log in to your account using the Net ID and password that you would use to access your UTA email. If you do not know your NetID and password you can contact the UTA Computer HelpDesk.
- On your student page, you will see a drop down box "Academics" on the left side of the page that says "other academic..." Select "Grades" and click on ">>".
- Select the current term using the radial button and click "Continue." If it is your first term, you may not have to select the term.
- For that term, you will see a tab marked "Official Grades," "Mid-term Progress Grades," "4-week Progress Grades," etc. Click on the tab for the grades that you wish to review. If you do not have tabs other than "Official Grades" you were not in a category of students who had grades reported prior to the end of the semester grades.
I received a progress report indicating that I am not doing well in one or more of my courses. What do I do now?
We encourage you to meet with your instructor and academic advisor to discuss your Progress Report and the learning resources, such as learning centers, tutoring services and peer-mentoring programs that are available to help. The best strategy is to get as much information about your situation as possible. That will help you make sound decisions for your future academic success.
