Student Handbook - Zayed University

the Zayed University Learning Outcomes (ZULOs) and the Major
Learning
Outcomes (MALOs) of each college.
Dean’s List
Each semester, the colleges recognize the top ten percent of their
students by naming them in the Dean’s List. To qualify, you must
have achieved a semester grade-point average of 3.6 or above in the
previous semester. In that semester, you must have completed 15 or
more credits that counts towards your GPA with no “Withdrawals” (W)
or “Incompletes” (I). Dean’s List recipients receive a certificate from their
college recognizing their academic achievement.
Zayed Scholars
Each semester, students with strong academic skills are recognized as
Zayed scholars. To qualify to be a Zayed Scholar, you must have achieved
a semester-grade point average of 3.8 or above in the previous semester.
In that semester, you must have completed 15 or more credits that
counts towards your GPA with no “Withdrawals” (W) or “Incompletes”
(I). The Zayed Scholars recipients receive a certificate recognizing their
outstanding academic achievement, have this distinction added to their
academic transcripts and also enjoy other privileges. To remain a Zayed
Scholar, you must maintain a 3.8 grade point average each semester.
ACADEMIC APPEALS
You can only appeal a grade if you can demonstrate a valid reason
for appeal. There must have been a substantial error of fact (such as
recording the wrong grade or miscalculating grades), or demonstrable
and substantial inequity in grading in the class, or a medical, family or
personal emergency which has substantially affected your academic
performance. All appeals must be in writing with appropriate
documentation if available.
