Academic Probation

Students with a cumulative UA grade point average of less than 2.00 will be placed on academic probation. Students who have fallen below a cumulative UA grade point average of 2.00 in their engineering major will also be placed on academic probation. 

Students on academic probation must meet with their academic advisor within two weeks of the beginning of the semester to discuss academic strategies and sign an academic contract.

The contract will stipulate the minimum academic progress a student must make in the curriculum of their degree program in order to continue enrollment in the College of Engineering. Additional requirements deemed necessary for improvement can be assigned by the academic advisor.

Academic Disqualification

Students must make progress toward an engineering degree in order to continue enrollment through the College, regardless of whether or not they have signed an academic contract.

Students who do not make progress face college disqualification. Any courses for future terms in which the student is enrolled at the time of disqualification will be dropped.

Complete withdrawal from a semester will not necessarily prevent a student's disqualification, as students are expected to make academic progress each semester.

Also, if students choose to take courses outside the engineering curriculum to improve their GPA, they may be disqualified from the College of Engineering.

Disqualified students may appeal their disqualification within a limited time. Please contact the College of Engineering Academic Affairs Office at 520.621.6032 to obtain an appeal form and the submission deadline.

All decisions by the disqualification appeals committee are final.

Readmission Requirements for Students on Academic Probation or under Disqualification

Students must apply for readmission through the Office of Admissions and New Student Enrollment.

The Office of Admissions and New Student Enrollment will notify the College of the student’s pending application.

For readmission to the College of Engineering:

After receiving the request for readmission from the Office of Admissions, the Academic Affairs Office will send, either by mail or email, the student a Petition for Academic Review, a letter stating the deadline for completion of the petition and a request for unofficial transcripts from any institution the applicant has attended since leaving the University.

The College Readmission Committee will review the petition, unofficial transcripts, and UA course work. If students attend another institution they must show a vast improvement in engineering courses and a GPA of engineering courses of 2.5-3.00 in order to be considered for admission. Students will be notified by mail or e-mail of the committee’s decision.
