BAEM Advising Guide
Summary of Academic Policies
For a complete list of the academic polices see:
- Statement of Standard Undergraduate Academic Policies and Practices
- University Senate Educational Policies Library
A grade of C- or better is required in courses in the major.
This requirement makes it necessary for you to receive a C- or better in any course required by the Department for a BAEM degree. This requirement covers all technical courses. Thus the only courses in which a D or D+ is still a passing grade are the CLE elective courses, which include freshman writing and biology. Note that D or D+ grades are still acceptable for prerequisite purposes, unless stated otherwise in the course prerequisites.
To be a full time student you must be enrolled for 13 semester credits. This applies to all students, unless you need less than 13 credits to graduate. There is a form on one stop to apply for an exemption to this rule.
The maximum number of semester credits you can register without additional approval is 20.
Leave of Absences
If you plan to be gone from the University for more than two semesters, you need to file a leave of absence plan. If you do not you may have to apply for readmission when you return.
A form to request a leave of absence is available at http://onestop.umn.edu/onestop/forms.html
Probation
There is now only one level of probation before suspension. Students who have a term or cumulative GPA less than 2.00 are put on Probationary Status. Students with term or cumulative GPA’s between 1.75 and 1.99 will be allowed to register on time if they submit letters from their instructors indicating satisfactory progress. Students with less than a 1.75 GPA will have to wait for grades to be posted before they can register for the next semester. All students on Probationary Status must fill out an E100 form. This form requires a signature of the AEM Director of Undergraduate Studies. The E100 form and instructor letters should be turned into the Office of Student Affairs in 105 Lind Hall.
Students on Probationary Status that do not get a term GPA above 2.00 in the next term will have to wait a year before they can enroll in classes at the University again. This is called Academic Suspension.
Students on academic suspension can no longer register for extension classes.
If you are on academic suspension you will no longer be able to get around the suspension by taking extension courses. If you want to take courses, attend a local community or junior college.
