UVSC VA Academic Standards
Probation/Suspension/Termination/Readmission
There are two situations that can terminate or jeopardize a veteran's benefits: academic probation and termination due to lack of progress.
The Veterans' Office reviews the veteran's grades at the end of each semester. The veteran must maintain a GPA of 2.00, which is a letter grade of "C". Any veteran who receives a GPA below 2.00 for any given semester, will receive notice from the Veterans' Office that relates to one of the following situations:
If a student's most recent semester/term and/or cumulative GPA is below 2.00 a warning letter is sent from the Veterans' Office stating that GPA improvement must be made to continue receiving benefits. He/she must meet with an advisor from the Academic Advisement Center and develop a plan to improve academic performance.
If the cumulative GPA is below 2.00, the veteran must sign a Statement of Intent form. A 2.00 GPA must be received in the following semester in order to continue receiving benefits.
A veteran's benefits are terminated for unsatisfactory progress and the student is subject to SUSPENSION from UVSC under either of the following two conditions:
A student is on warning for two consecutive semesters/terms.
A student with 13 total credits or more enrolled at UVSC has not maintained his/her cumulative GPA at or above the following minimum UVSC GPA warning levels:
| TOTAL CREDITS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER CREDITS)
| MINIMUM UVSC GPA
WARNING LEVELS
|
|---|---|
| 13 - 31.9 | 1.90 |
| 32 or more | 2.00 |
If, after being terminated for reasons described above, a veteran wishes to reapply for VA Educational Benefits, the following steps must be taken:
The veteran must meet with a therapeutic and career guidance counselor. The counselor will help the veteran decide if his/her chosen field is appropriate for his/her aptitudes and interests.
The veteran must submit a statement listing any circumstances that may have affected his/her academic progress at the time of termination, and then list how these circumstances have been changed.
Veterans Administration form 22-8873 must be completed. This form is entitled "Supplemental Information for Change of Program or Re-Admitted After Unsatisfactory Progress or Conduct." A letter of endorsement from the Veterans' Office may accompany this form.
The veteran must sign a statement acknowledging that he/she has been readmitted on a probationary basis.
When the veteran has been readmitted on a probationary basis, a GPA of 2.00 must be maintained.
