Academic Standing

What Does This Mean? 

A student who was on Academic Probation 2 and has not met the minimum GPA for Good Standing (cumulative GPA of 2.00) or requirements to remain on Academic Probation 2 (semester GPA of 2.20) and is NOT eligible to enroll for one regular term (fall or spring). Academic Suspension standing is reflected on the student’s transcript and academic record.

What Can I Do About It?

Some students can appeal for a waiver of the dismissal. Early Readmission Appeals are due ten (10) days before the fall or spring terms. Students dismissed after summer terms may be considered through the third day of the fall term. The process to appeal for early readmission from academic dismissal requires the student to:

• Meet with their academic advisor to determine viability of the appeal;
• Complete an Enrollment Agreement; and
• Submit a student appeal letter.

Approving an appeal requires waiving an academic policy under extenuating circumstances. This requires substantial evidence that waiving such a policy would be in the best interest of the student, the institution, and is equitable. Additionally, supporting documentation is required. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Letter from a licensed medical professional confirming that the diagnosis and/or treatment plan negatively impacted their academics and a statement of support for early readmission.
• Police report for a car wreck (i.e. student no longer had the means to travel to and from campus).
• Letter from a treating physician for extenuating circumstance, such as incapacitation, surgery, hospitalization, etc.

Only the following accept early readmission appeals:

• College of Liberal Arts
• School of Social Work
• Division of Student Success (University Advising and Engagement Center, Student Retention Initiatives, and University Studies)

Early Readmission Appeal Form & Enrollment AGREEMENT

What Does This Mean? 

A student will be placed on Academic Suspension 2 if the student does not meet requirements in the first enrolled semester following the period of non-enrollment resulting from an Academic Suspension 1 or Suspension 2 standing. The student is NOT eligible to enroll for a minimum 12-month period. Academic Suspension standing is reflected on the student’s transcript and academic record.

What Can I Do About It?

There is no appeal process for this academic status. A student placed on Academic Suspension 2 is eligible to apply for readmission to the University after not attending UT Arlington for a minimum 12-month period.

A student returning from a 12-month suspension must:

1. Reapply for admission and complete the University readmission process. A student readmitted to the University must meet all published academic requirements to re-declare a major program of study. A returning student is not guaranteed readmission into the previously declared major or intended major choice.
2. The returning student should meet with an academic advisor in the major department at least ten (10) days prior to the start of the fall or spring semester to complete the Return from Suspension 2 Form and develop an action plan for academic success.
