DISMISSAL

1.        A student may be dismissed from AUCA for :

• Poor academic performance (see the “Course Repetition” and “Probation” regulations)
• Failing to maintain an overall GPA of at least 1.75 (*see exception below regarding first year students)
• Failing to earn a semester 2.0 GPA and 15 credit hours while on Academic Probation
• Losing his/her connection with the University
• Failing to register for courses (with the exception of students on Academic Leave)
• Failing to fulfill financial obligations to the University (confirmed by the Admissions and Financial Aid Office)

*There is an exception to the GPA requirement for first-year students after their first semester: these students will not be dismissed; instead, all first year students with GPAs below 2.0 after the first semester will be placed on Academic Probation. First-year students who are placed on probation and fail to earn a 2.0 GPA and 15 credit hours during the second semester will be dismissed from the University, without the right to apply for readmission. Exceptions to this policy may be made under special circumstances, for example, students may receive special permission to apply for readmission from the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

2.        Continuing students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) whose overall GPAs are below 2.0 (but above 1.75) will be placed on Academic Probation.  Continuing students who are placed on probation and fail to earn a 2.0 GPA and 15 credit hours during the subsequent semester will be dismissed from the University, with the right to apply for readmission.

3.        Dismissal for academic reasons will be completed after final grades are submitted, according to the process outlined in Item 7.

4.        If dismissed, the student will be given an academic certificate in accordance with the format approved by the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic 

5.        A student has the right to appeal his or her dismissal; the appeal should be submitted within 10 days of the official notification of dismissal.

6.        Dismissal procedure:

• After analyzing all student transcripts, each Program Chair will submit a report to the Vice President for

Academic Affairs outlining the dismissal of students whose cumulative GPAs are below 1.75.

• Upon the approval of the report by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Registrar’s Office will issue the

        dismissal orders. Dismissal orders for academic reasons must be issued by the Registrar’s Office within one                month after the completion of the exam period.

• Students who have been dismissed will be notified of the decision as soon as possible, typically immediately              following the issuance, but no later than the beginning of the next semester.

7.     To be voluntarily dismissed from the University due to a personal reason or university transfer, a student should submit a request to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The request must include all the necessary documents (including signatures of the Program Chair and Registrar and a completed check-out list, which includes proof of payment of any financial debts).

8.    Students who fail to complete online registration by the end of the Add/Drop period, and/or those who have not paid their tuition fees for the current semester will be dismissed from the University at the beginning of the third month of each semester.

9.    A student has the right to be re-admitted to the University no earlier than a year after being dismissed. A recommendation from the Program Chair is required.

10.  A student who fails a repeated course after re-admission will be dismissed from the University without the right to be re-admitted.
