What is academic warning?
A student will be placed on academic warning if his or her cumulative University of Alabama GPA (the overall GPA for courses taken at this university only) is below a 2.0 but above the appropriate scholastic progress standard. The purpose of the academic warning is to alert students to improve their academic performances and to introduce students to available academic resources. See Ms. Daria (305 Phifer) or Ms. Sims (418-D Phifer) by March 1 for warnings issued at the end of a fall semester or by August 1 for warnings issued at the end of a spring semester.
A student is placed on Academic Warning at the end of any term in which the cumulative/institutional GPA falls below the required minimum for the total hours earned. The student will have only one semester in which to raise the GPA to the required minimum and return to Good Standing. If not, the student is placed on Academic Probation. Students on Academic Warning are encouraged to take advantage of the services available in the Academic Skills Center.
