Students are placed on scholastic probation if: 1. Their cumulative
grade point average (GPA) falls below 2.0. Students on probation for this
reason who achieve a cumulative 2.0 GPA shall be removed from probation; Except as provided for by specific college probation policy, an undergraduate student may be removed from probation by the dean of the college when the student on scholastic probation has earned 90 semester hours (senior standing), and at the end of a semester or session has a cumulative grade-point standing of 2.0. Academic Suspension Students are subject to suspension if: 1. They have
three consecutive semesters in which their cumulative GPA remains below
2.0. In cases of students eligible for suspension, the dean of the student's college may continue a student on academic probation if the individual case so justifies. Back to top. General Rules Pertaining to Students Under Academic Suspension A student who is under academic suspension may not enroll in any courses offered by the University of Kentucky, nor take any examination for University of Kentucky credit. A student who has been academically suspended a second time will not be readmitted to the University except in unusual circumstances and then only upon recommendation of the dean of the college in which the student plans to enroll and approval of the University Senate Council. Once reported to the University Registrar, an academic suspension may be rescinded by the dean only in the event of an error in the determination of the student's eligibility for suspension, an official grade change that alters the student's suspension eligibility, or exceptional circumstances. In such cases a written notice of rescission documenting the basis for the action must be filed with the University Registrar by the dean imposing the original suspension. Back to top. After they have remained out of the University for at least a semester and a summer session (a semester for students academically suspended at the end of a summer session), students who have been academically suspended may only be reinstated by the dean of the college in which they plan to enroll when they present evidence that they are capable of performing at the level required to prevent being suspended a second time. After being reinstated, students must apply for readmission to the University. Back to top. General Rules for Reinstated Students A student who has
been academically suspended will, upon reinstatement, be placed on scholastic
probation and be subject to final academic suspension from the University
if: Once reinstated students have been removed from scholastic probation, they will be subject to the same conditions for subsequent academic suspension as students who have not previously been academically suspended. Back to top. Academic Bankruptcy (Readmission After Two or More Years) Undergraduate students who have been readmitted through the usual channels after an interruption of two or more years, and who have completed at least one semester or 12 credit hours with a grade-point standing of 2.0 or better after readmission, may choose to have none of their previous University of Kentucky course work counted toward graduation and toward the computation of their grade-point standings. The calculation of the grade-point average after readmission begins with the semester of readmission In addition, the dean of the student's college may permit such a readmitted student who has elected not to count past work to receive credit for selected courses without including those grades in the computation of the student's grade-point standing. Note: Program Faculty will approve which courses are to be applied toward program requirements. Part-time as well as full-time students can take advantage of the academic bankruptcy rule. Students need not have been originally suspended from the University to qualify for this option. Attendance at a community college in the UK system is equivalent to attendance at UK itself for the purposes of this option. A student can petition for academic bankruptcy for work done at a community college. This option is not available to a student who transfers in more than 24 credit hours taken at another institution during the first two years after leaving the University of Kentucky. A student who has completed at least 12 hours of work with a GPA of 2.0 or better would be eligible for academic bankruptcy even if she/he received an E in one or more of the courses. If a student has completed a degree and re-enrolls, she/he may not apply the academic bankruptcy rule to courses taken for the degree already completed. The Academic bankruptcy option may be used only once. Back to top.
