Your Academic Standing reflects the status of the work you have completed to date. It is based on your academic results, namely your grades, course failures and GPA. Some statuses are problematic, and require your attention. They are outlined below.
Academic Probation
The academic records of all students are reviewed at the end of each year of study.
Students are placed on probation when they:
- Are admitted with a marginal academic record
- Fail to obtain the required cumulative overall average for their year level.
They are removed from probation when they obtain the required cumulative overall average for their year level.
They may proceed on probation in the bachelor program if they maintain a 4.40 average on the courses taken while on probation, even if their cumulative average is below the minimum to be removed from probation.
They are debarred from further registration if they do not satisfy the above regulations.
Students on probation who do not attain at the end of the first term a cumulative average of more than 3.00 (D+) should discuss the situation with their adviser.
Debarred
Students on probation will be debarred from the University if they fail to satisfy the above regulations of Academic Probation.
Students who have been debarred, whether at York or another university, may be re-admitted in some subsequent session only if they give convincing evidence that they can profit from university work. Application for readmission will not be entertained in less than two years from date of debarment.
Glendon College is sensitive to the transitional issues faced by students in their first University session. The Faculty exercises leniency in its consideration of petitions for late withdrawal where:
- The student was attending University for the first time;
- The courses were completed in the first University session at York University (either Fall/Winter or Summer);
- The petition is submitted within one year of the last day of classes of the relevant courses.
Academic Warning
Students whose cumulative overall grade point average falls below 4.00 (C) at the end of any session, or who enter the Faculty with a grade point average equivalent to less than 4.00 (C) on the York scale receive an Academic Warning.
Students on Academic Warning must achieve a cumulative overall grade point average of at least 4.00 (C) within the next 24 credits taken, or earn a sessional grade point average of at least 5.0 (C+) in the session in which that 24th credit is completed and in each subsequent session until the cumulative grade point average reaches 4.0 (C), or be Required to Withdraw.
Required Withdrawal
Students whose academic record shows marked weakness may be required to withdraw from their studies for 12 months, during which they are encouraged to identify and remedy any problems which may have contributed materially to their failure to perform to their potential, and to reflect on their reasons for pursuing a university education.
The following regulations apply to Required Withdrawals:
- Grade point Average Below 2.5: Students whose cumulative grade point average on at least 24 York credits is below 2.5 must withdraw for 12 months.
- Failure to satisfy Academic Warning conditions: Students who fail to meet the Academic Warning Conditions above will be required to withdraw for 12 months.
Students who have been required to withdraw may submit a petition to continue their studies without interruption. Students granted such a petition will be allowed to continue their studies on Debarment Warning.
Students who have been required to withdraw must apply for reactivation after the requisite period of absence by submitting a reactivation request to the Academic Services Office. Students who return to their studies after a Required Withdrawal (as well as those who have been allowed to continue their studies by virtue of a petition) receive a Debarment Warning.
Debarment Warning
Students who have been required to withdraw receive a Debarment Warning upon continuing their studies in the University.
Students on Debarment Warning must achieve a cumulative overall grade point average of at least 4.00 (C) within the next 24 credits taken or earn a sessional grade point average of at least 5.0 (C+) in the session in which that 24th credit is completed and in each subsequent session until the cumulative grade point average reaches 4.0 (C), and must then maintain this average in order to continue.
Debarment
Students who fail to meet the Debarment Warning conditions outlined above will be debarred from the University. Debarment, the minimum period for which is normally two years (24 months), means that the student is no longer a student at York University.
Students who have been debarred may submit a petition requesting permission to continue their studies without interruption. Students granted such a petition will be allowed to continue their studies on Academic Probation.
Students who have been debarred and who wish to resume their studies must apply for admission through the Admissions Office, and must provide persuasive evidence that they are ready and able to complete a degree program. Students who are readmitted (as well as those who have been allowed to continue their studies by virtue of a petition) continue on Academic Probation.
Academic Probation
Students who have been debarred and who subsequently resume their studies at the University, whether by petitioning to continue without interruption or by reapplying for admission, continue on Academic Probation. Students on Academic Probation must meet the Debarment Warning Conditions outlined above; otherwise, they will be debarred again.
