UMA Undergraduate Guide 2011-2012 Academic Departments and Programs Stockbridge School Academic Status
Academic Status
Good Standing All university students, including Stockbridge students, must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or greater to remain in good academic standing. Academic Discipline Stockbridge students whose cumulative GPAs fall below 2.00 are subject to academic discipline as follows:
Withdrawal (Voluntary and Administrative) A student who wishes to voluntarily withdraw from school at any time must meet with the director. Students failing to meet their financial obligations to the university or the school, or who neglect to submit proper proof of immunization, will be administratively withdrawn. Notification of administrative withdrawal will be sent through SPIRE at spire.umass.edu. When financial or immunization obligations have been met, the student will be reinstated. Appeal Students have the right to appeal their academic status. Final authority for determining students' academic status resides with the Committee on Admissions and Records. Students are urged to consult with the Stockbridge Director to discuss extenuating circumstances, and to learn about petitions and appeals procedures. Readmission after Withdrawal from a Baccalaureate Program A student who has been suspended or dismissed from a baccalaureate degree program at the University and wishes to enter a Stockbridge School major is required to petition the Committee on Admissions and Records. Rationale should include a statement which clearly indicates a new direction in educational objectives and why success in a Stockbridge program is likely. |
