Absence From Class

It is assumed that a vital part of every student's education is regular attendance of class meetings.  Every faculty member keeps a current attendance record on all students.  Any absences tend to lower the quality of a student's work in a course, and frequent or persistent absences may preclude a passing grade or cause a student to be dropped from one or more courses by the respective faculty with approval of his or her Chair and Dean.

A student who abandons courses without officially withdrawing will receive a grade of "F" in each course, regardless of when that student ceases to attend classes (See Refund of Fees).

Minimum Grade Point Average for Good Standing

UNDERGRADUATE

To be in good standing, an UNDERGRADUATE student must have a 2.0 grade-point average on his/her cumulative record as well as on his/her current semester record.

GRADUATE

To be in good standing, a GRADUATE student must have a 3.0 grade-point average on his/her cumulative record as well as on his/her current semester record.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE CALCULATION

SEMESTER

The grade point average for a semester is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the number of hours of "A", "B", "C", "D", and "F".

CUMULATIVE

The cumulative, or overall, grade point average is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by  the number of hours of "A", "B", "C", "D", and "F". Transferred hours, as well as hours earned from Texas A & M International University, are included.

Academic Probation

UNDERGRADUATE

An UNDERGRADUATE student will be placed in academic probation if his or her cumulative grade point average is below a "C" (2.0/4.0) or if work for any semester falls below a "C".

GRADUATE

A GRADUATE student will be placed in academic probation if his or her cumulative grade point average is below a "B" (3.0/4.0) or if work for any semester falls below a "B".

Removing Academic Probation

A student who has been placed on academic probation will be removed from such probation at the conclusion of the semester or summer term at Texas A & M International University when the cumulative grade point average required for their classification, and the current semester has been achieved.

Academic Suspension (Enforced Withdrawal)

If a Student who has been placed on academic probation again fails to achieve the minimum requirement for their classification on at least one of the two standards (that is, the cumulative grade point standard or the current semester standard), he/she will be placed on academic suspension during the next semester.

Returning After Academic Suspension

After absence of one long semester (Fall or Spring) the student may petition through the Office of the University Registrar to return.
