Interested in changing your major? It’s recommended that you talk to your advisor about majors that interest you.
University College values academic honesty in academia as the basis of shaping students who will become productive workers and contributors to society. University College is committed to supporting student success by supporting accountability. We are driven to use every opportunity, including academic violations, as learning opportunities for our students to gain experience, resources and personal growth.
Academic dishonesty falls into five broad areas that include but are not limited to:
It is important that you understand what constitutes a violation of academic integrity.
Why is it important?
Academic Integrity Violations have a negative impact on you as the student, the ASU community, and your future career aspirations.
Academic dishonesty undermines your ability to demonstrate your academic excellence. Furthermore, academic dishonesty doesn’t allow your instructor the opportunity to develop your educational aptitude to prepare you for your career and diminishes the integrity of our ASU academic community.
Anyone with a good faith basis for believing that a student has engaged in Academic Dishonesty may report the alleged violation to the Instructor or Academic Integrity Officer for the college or school in which the Academic Dishonesty occurred.
Make a Report
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are unsure as to whether an issue could be construed as academic honesty, use the resources linked below. Sun Devils are champions of integrity and making the right decision.
If you have questions about ASU’s academic integrity policy or alleged violations, please contact University College’s Academic Integrity Officer Samantha Carter with any questions.
To be considered in academic good standing in University College, students must achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. Academic standing is determined twice annually—in December after fall semester grades have posted, and in May after spring grades have posted. Grades earned during summer will affect GPA, but are not considered for academic standing purposes until the next review period.
View Grades and Grading Policy
An undergraduate student with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00 at the end of their first semester (fall or spring) is considered to be in the status of University Academic Warning.
Academic Probation-University College
If a student's minimum cumulative GPA first falls below 2.0 in a term that is not the student's first term at ASU, the student will be placed on probation. Failure to return to good academic standing after being placed on probation may result in disqualification.
What happens when you are on academic warning or academic probation?
A student on academic warning or academic probation is considered in conditional good standing and is permitted to enroll.
All University College students who are not in good standing, are required to meet with an academic advisor and complete an Academic Success Agreement. During your appointment, your advisor will go over your prior semester, discuss your academic standing status, possibly make adjustments to your course schedule and help you explore strategies to return to good standing.
Improved performance will help you earn either Good Standing or Continued Probation status. Students who achieve a cumulative GPA above 2.0 are considered in Good Standing. Students who achieve a semester GPA above a 2.0, but retain a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.0 are placed on Continued Probation. Students who fail to achieve a semester or cumulative GPA above 2.0 are subject to disqualification from the university.
All students who are placed on Academic Warning or Academic Probation for at least one semester, must successfully complete UNI 220 Mindset Connections as a requirement of graduation.
If you have been disqualified from ASU, you are not eligible to take classes at ASU during fall or spring semesters; however, enrollment in summer classes is permitted and encouraged. You may enroll in summer classes at ASU to improve your GPA and bring your cumulative ASU GPA back into good academic standing (2.0).
If you have had a fall or spring semester lapse in enrollment while on disqualification status, you will need to submit an application for readmission to ASU to enroll in summer classes or be considered for a future fall or spring enrollment.
Readmission to University College is only granted for students who:
OR
AND
Note: Students who receive a "D" or E" grade in an ASU course, should not repeat the course at another institution for a higher grade. This will void the possibility of a potential ASU grade replacement to improve ASU GPA upon readmission.
Students who have been disqualified two or more times will not be reinstated until they achieve an ASU GPA of 2.0 or better by taking summer courses.
Academic Renewal: Students who have a five-year absence from ASU may be encouraged to apply for academic renewal as part of the reinstatement process. For additional information, see an advisor or see “Academic Renewal” in the ASU catalog.
Readmission: An application for readmission will be required for the semester you wish to return to ASU. This readmission will be contingent on completing the requirements stated above.
Undergraduate students are eligible for the Dean’s List if they earn 12 or more graded credit hours (“A+”, “A”, “A-”, “B+”, “B”, “B-”, “C+”, “C”, “D” or “E”) during a semester in residence at ASU with a GPA of 3.50 or higher. A notation regarding Dean’s List achievement appears on the unofficial transcript.
The University College Standards Committee is composed of faculty and staff from University College. The standards committee meets monthly to discuss outstanding petitions from students who request to change academic standards. Students who should submit a petition via DocuSign to the standards committee to be considered for review.
To keep your request moving forward, please
A student can take 18 credits per semester and 7 credits each summer session. Prior to submitting the request for credit overload the student must do the below.
Will not be considered unless there are specific extenuating circumstances (for instance, if the pre-requisite has been completed or will be completed at another institution prior to the start of the class in question).
Override requests will not be considered after the drop/add period for that session (A,B,C) has ended.
To request credit be given to a transfer course that did not receive a direct equivalency or was deemed non-transferable.
You may not take a course three or more times if you have passed that course with a C or higher.
All prerequisites for the course must be passed with the required grades before submitting the petition (even if you have been allowed to register previously without them).
Approval to retake a course does not imply that you may enroll in a class after the add/drop deadline or for a class section that is already full.
Students who are enrolled in a University College course and believe they have been unfairly or improperly graded may be assured of just treatment and fair consideration through the processes described in this document. Any such grievance must be started within the regular semester immediately following the course at issue, whether the student is enrolled in the university or not.
The grievance procedures do not deal with matters that properly belong in personnel proceedings.
Readmission/Reinstatement
For students who are disqualified, reinstatement to University College is only granted if the student raises their ASU cumulative GPA to good academic standing (2.0 cumulative GPA) by taking ASU summer classes, or completes 12 or more transferable credits at another college or university with a GPA of 2.50 or higher and no grades lower than “C” (2.00).
Once readmitted, the student may be placed on academic probation for at least one semester. Students on probation will have one semester to raise their cumulative or semester GPA to meet ASU academic good standing (2.00). Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the university.

A complete session withdrawal from the university can be a difficult decision and could result in serious academic and financial consequences. Beginning the first day of the fall and spring semesters, undergraduate students are required to contact the college/school of their major to facilitate the withdrawal process.
We encourage you to discuss a potential complete session withdrawal with an academic advisor, by scheduling an academic advising appointment.
Before submitting the MCW form, please do the following:
If you experience a serious illness, injury or other significant personal situation that prevents you from continuing your classes, you may request a medical/compassionate withdrawal from the college which houses your major.
Medical/compassionate withdrawals require relevant and detailed supporting documentation for consideration. Approval is at the discretion of the college and there is no guarantee a request will be approved.
If you are an international student with an F1/J1 visa, you must consult with the International Students and Scholars Center (ISSC) to discuss the serious immigration consequences that may result from your withdrawal from ASU.
F-1/J-1 visa, must provide medical documentation from a U.S. licensed medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist.
