AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG Readmission and Reinstatement Any student at the American University of Kuwait who voluntarily withdraws or is dismissed for academic deficiency must apply for readmission in order to re-enroll. All students who have done previous work at other colleges or universities must have their transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions. All students must meet transfer G.P.A. requirements and all admission deadlines. In making decisions on those applying for readmission, the following guidelines will be used: 1) Students who voluntarily withdraw from the American University of Kuwait while in good standing and with a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.00 or above at AUK will be approved for readmission. 2) Students who have been dismissed from the American University of Kuwait for academic deficiency will be considered for reinstatement following the prescribed suspension period. Reinstated students may return to AUK for a period of one year (two consecutive regular semesters and a Summer) with specific conditions. If the reinstated student has not increased his/her cumulative AUK GPA to a minimum of 2.00 by the end of the reinstatement period, the student will be academically dismissed without appeal. 3) Students who voluntarily leave the American University of Kuwait while on academic probation may be reinstated but under the conditions outlined in 2 above. Readmitted and reinstated students must follow the same admissions timelines required of all other applicants, unless written permission to study at another collegiate institution was secured in advance. Students who have been granted an official leave of absence may resume their studies without applying for readmission. REGISTRATION GUIDANCE Placement, Advising and Registration (PAR) Prior to the start of the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters, the University organizes a Placement, Advising and Registration (PAR) orientation program for all incoming students to acquaint them with University academic programs, campus facilities and campus life. PAR includes campus tours and visits, meetings, lectures, demonstrations and other relevant activities. Placement Testing AUK wants all students to be successful in accomplishing their educational goals. Therefore it is important evaluate your level of preparation in Arabic, English and Math, as part of the registration process. All new students to AUK are required to take the ACCUPLACER exam as part of the registration process. Students whose placement scores do not meet the required college level scores for registration in English or Math must improve their skills. Skills improvement courses also known as college preparatory courses are designed to provide students with the skills to enhance their chances of success in collegiate level courses. College preparatory courses are required but cannot be used for credit towards completion of the bachelor’s degree. 40
