ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESACADEMIC ACTIONS POLICYThe Asian University for Women (AUW) is committed to maintaining high academic standards whileenabling student success by providing students with valuable resources and support throughout theiracademic career. This academic actions policy will help achieve the aforementioned goal by: (a)informing students of the University’s academic standards and procedures; (b) identifying students whomay be in danger of failing one or more courses; and (c) providing effective intervention and academicsupport. It is not a policy for disciplinary actions related to non-academic matters. For that, please refer tothe Honor Code and other rules as stated in this Student Handbook.Academic StandardsAt AUW, all students are expected to meet minimum standards in order to remain in good academicstanding. These standards are: a) attaining a minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA) each term; b)attaining and maintaining a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) in order to graduate;and c) maintaining adequate progress toward completing graduation requirements (four 4-credit coursesor 16 credits per term for Undergraduate students; Access Academy students must remain enrolled in allrequired courses). No student may enroll in fewer than three 4-credit courses (12 credits) per term.Any student who does not meet the above standards will be subject to academic actions. Depending onthe circumstances, one of six actions may be taken: Academic Alert, Academic Warning, AcademicProbation, Final Probation, Suspension, and Expulsion. These are detailed below.Academic AlertThe purpose of an Academic Alert is to identify and warn students who may be in danger of failing one ormore courses. Through this process, the University can intervene, inform the students that a change isnecessary, and connect struggling students 1 to existing services and resources so that they can maintain orimprove their GPA.Near the 6 th week of the semester 2 , faculty members are asked to identify students in their classes whomay be in danger of failing as well as the reason for their concern. Alerts may be issued for excessiveabsences, trouble with subject matter, not completing assignments, and/or writing deficiencies. 3Academic Alerts are not grades, and AUW will not keep a permanent record of Academic Alerts.How an Academic Alert is issued:1. A faculty member, academic advisor, or AUW staff will submit a referral by completing anAcademic Alert Form anytime during the term, and especially at the 6 th week deadline 4 .1 AUW defines “struggling students” as those students who: have poor attendance; are continually late for class orleave early; don’t take notes; are inattentive; don’t participate; or any student, who in the opinion of the facultyinstructor, is unlikely to be successful in a given course.2 Alerting a student at the six-week mark gives them enough time to change their behavior and has a greater impacton their overall performance. Faculty members can, however, refer a student they are concerned about at any timeduring the term, either before or after the Academic Alert deadline.3 For a complete list of warning signs and behaviors a struggling student may exhibit, please see the section titled“Information for Faculty and Staff” at the end of this policy.4 Access Academy faculty should submit referrals to the Director of the Access Academy.9
