POLICY TITLE
Academic Advising for Provisional Undergraduate Students Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
Provisionally admitted undergraduate students are those who have been accepted into the College of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies and whose academic record does not meet the general admissions requirements for Life University’s undergraduate programs.
Students admitted provisionally to undergraduate programs must earn a quarter GPA of 2.0 or above in their first quarter to avoid Academic Probation.
Provisional undergraduate students must do the following:
1. Students new to the University must meet with their Academic Coaches and Advisors prior to the beginning of the quarter in which they are to enter the University. Returning students must make an appointment with their Advisor during week 7 of the quarter to determine their schedule for the following quarter.
2. Complete all required placement testing and transitional courses as outlined in the student’s provisional acceptance contract.
3. Register for no more than 15 credit hours in the first quarter at Life University, three of which must be LFS 105 Academic Strategies. The student’s Advisor must approve all other course selections.
4. Complete any and all required developmental courses and LFS 105 with a grade of “C” or higher.
5. Successfully complete three-quarters with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
6. Successfully complete 36-40 quarter credit hours, 20 of which must be general education core courses unless the student is a transfer student and has met all general education core requirements.
If a new provisional student does not meet or fulfill items 1-3 all of the above prior to the start of the quarter, he/she will be administratively dropped from all courses.
During the quarter, provisional undergraduate students will be required to do the following in order to ensure academic progress is being maintained in each of their courses:
Meet with their Advisor during weeks 1, 3, 7, and 9 of the quarter. Earn a quarter GPA of 2.0 or better to avoid being placed on Academic Probation.
Attend documented study sessions per week at an approved tutoring location, such as Smart Thinking or the Student Success Center.
