2UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC STANDARDS
(General Catalog 2012—Records and Registration—Undergraduate Academic Standards:
)
Unsatisfactory Academic Status: Undergraduate students who have less than a 2.0 semester and/or less than 2.0 cumulative
University of Nevada GPA are making unsatisfactory academic progress, which may lead to academic actions described in the
following section. Students pursuing the bachelor's degree may not apply credits or grade points in University courses numbered
below 100 toward a four‐year degree or to raise their GPA. Credits and coursework from other institutions do not alter the
University GPA.
Students classified by Admissions and Records as freshmen (0‐29 earned credits) who have less than a cumulative 2.0 GPA are
making unsatisfactory academic progress. However, such students who earn at least one credit in the fall semester are placed in a
financial aid probation status and may receive their aid for one more semester. At the end of the spring semester, the student must
have earned 24 total credits. Spring only freshmen aid recipients must have earned a minimum of 12 credits. Summer school at the
University of Nevada is recommended to make up the deficiency. Refer to the procedure about reinstating aid eligibility. When the
student's classification changes to sophomore (30+ earned credits), the 2.0 minimum University of Nevada cumulative GPA must be
maintained as well as the required earned credit standards.
Students are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress throughout their University career. Academic progress is affected
by semester and cumulative University GPA.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Undergraduate students are placed on academic probation when a student's cumulative University of Nevada GPA is below 2.0.
Students who are placed on Academic Probation will receive a letter notifying them of their academic status (First, Second, or Third‐
Semester Probation). Admissions and Records will place a registration/advisement hold on each probationary student's record.
Release from University Probation: Undergraduate students are removed from Probation when their University of Nevada
cumulative GPA rises above 2.0.
DISMISSAL
Students who are on Probation for three consecutive regular semesters and fail to raise their cumulative University of Nevada GPA
above the Academic Probation threshold (2.0) will be dismissed from the University.
Students will receive a letter and an email notifying them to access updated information on their academic status at MyNEVADA.
Once dismissed the student is not allowed UNR enrollment for a period of one calendar year.
Release from University Dismissal: After one year, an undergraduate student who has been dismissed may return to the University
only on the basis of evidence that underlying conditions have materially improved and that he or she is now capable of academic
success.
Appeal of Dismissal: Appeals may be submitted no later than 10 business days prior to the beginning of the next regular term.
