AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG Academic Dismissal Applied at the end of the third consecutive semester with an earned cumulative AUK GPA of below 2.00. Academically dismissed students should remain dismissed for a period of one semester and may again seek readmission to AUK after this period of dismissal. Appeal Process and Reinstatement If a student chooses to appeal an academic dismissal, the appeal will be reviewed by the Academic Standards Committee. The Academic Standards Committee may elect to allow the dismissed student to return to AUK as a reinstated student for a period of up to one year (two consecutive regular semesters and a Summer). Reinstated dismissed students are only allowed to repeat courses in which grades of D or F were earned and may register in a maximum of 12 credit hours per semester. Students are required to participate in the academic support programs as defined by the Retention Specialist. Failure to comply with the program as defined by the Retention Specialist jeopardizes the student’s continued enrollment at AUK. If the reinstated student has not increased their cumulative AUK GPA to a minimum of 2.00 by the end of the reinstatement period, the student will be academically dismissed without appeal. Removal of Academic Probation Academic probation will be removed if the student’s cumulative GPA increases to 2.00 or above. Students remain on academic probation until the end of the semester. Registration Students register for classes each semester based on their scheduled registration times. Students register for classes online via AUK Self Service. For additional information on the registration process and the scheduled registration times, please see the Office of the Registrar website at www.auk.edu.kw. Registration through a proxy is not permitted. Registration Priority The Office of the Registrar assigns registration times and priority based upon the student’s earned credit hours. Students can view their registration times and priority online via the Office of the Registrar website at www.auk.edu.kw. Students may register at their appointed registration time through the end of the Drop/Add deadline for the semester in question. Registration Holds Students may have a “hold’’ that prevents registration. “Holds’’ may be placed by the Library, Finance Department, Admissions, Registrar, as well as other University departments. All student ``hold’’ obligations must be cleared by the appropriate office before students are allowed to register for the subsequent term. Students can view their hold information via AUK Self Service. 66
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG Drop and Add Students are allowed to drop and/or add courses through the end of the Drop/Add period. Students interested in adding or dropping courses should consult first with their respective academic advisor before making their registration changes. Students can add and drop courses online via AUK Self Service. Courses dropped during the Drop/Add period will not be inscribed in students’ academic record. Students are also encouraged to consult the tuition refund schedule before dropping a course. Pass-Fail Option The pass-fail option is provided to encourage students to enrich their educational experience and to venture outside their Major areas of concentration or competence. To earn a pass under the Pass-Fail option, students must perform at the “C’’ level or above. A grade of Pass (“P’’) will count toward graduation but will carry no grade points and will not be used in computing the GPA. A grade of Not Passing (“NP’’) will be recorded on the transcript, but will carry no grade points and will also not be used in calculating the GPA. The following restrictions apply: 1) A student electing the Pass-Fail option must be in good standing (not on academic probation) and should be of sophomore standing or above. 2) A student electing the Pass-Fail option must do so at registration by completing a Pass Fail Option Request, and no change may be made after the Drop/Add period. 3) No more than 12 credit hours may be taken under the Pass-Fail option and no more than one course in any one semester. 4) No course taken on the Pass-Fail option may be used to satisfy the general education requirements or be taken in one’s Major or Minor. 5) No course may be repeated on a Pass-Fail option. A course for which the grade ``P’’ has been received may not be repeated. Students interested in enrolling in a course using the Pass-Fail option should consult first with their respective academic advisor before making their registration changes. Students can register for a course using the Pass-Fail option through the Office of the Registrar. Students may only change to or from Pass-Fail status through the end of the Drop/Add period. Please consult the Academic Calendar. Independent Study Courses An independent study course is an individually supervised, upper-level course, which offers a student the opportunity for intense study in a specific area of interest. These courses are primarily intended for juniors and seniors who have received Instructor approval and have at least a 3.00 GPA or are in the semester prior to graduation and need a course to graduate which is not offered at AUK that semester. Auditing a Class Auditing a class allows a student to enroll in a class for no academic credit. Students are still 67
