POLICY STATEMENT
Provisionally admitted undergraduate students are those who have been admitted into the College of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies (CGUS) whose academic record does not meet the general admissions requirements for Life University’s undergraduate programs. Before registration, students must complete all required placement testing.
PROCEDURE(S)
Provisional undergraduate students must do the following:
1.Students new to the University must meet with their Academic Advisor 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.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.
3.Complete all required developmental courses and LFS 105 with a grade of “C” or higher.
4.Successfully complete up to three quarters with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
5.Successfully complete a minimum of 26 quarter credit hours.
Students who successfully complete the requirements of their provisional contract may exit their contract prior to the completion of a third contract, with Dean’s approval.
If a new provisional student does not meet or fulfill items 1 and 2 of the above prior to the start of the quarter, they 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:
1. Meet with their Advisor during weeks 1, 3, 7, and 9 of the quarter. Earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better by the end of their 3rd quarter.
2. Attend University sanctioned study sessions each week at an approved tutoring location, such as the Academic Learning Center.
