C.2 Open Studies Academic Performance


Academic performance is monitored after each term. All course attempts in the term will be reviewed.

A formal review of academic performance will occur after the winter term. Decisions regarding registration standing will be made at this time. Students who earn a grade point average less than 1.70 on a minimum of nine (9) units will be withdrawn from Open Studies.

Students who have withdrawn from more than 15 units will be withdrawn from Open Studies unless they can demonstrate sufficient cause for the withdrawals.

Students who have been withdrawn from Open Studies at the University of Calgary may not register in Open Studies for a period of twelve months from the end of the term they last attended. Re-applicants will be required to meet the Open Studies admission standards prior to being reconsidered.

Open Studies students are encouraged to speak with the Open Studies Academic Advisor available in the Student Success Centre (success@ucalgary.ca). Open Studies students are not eligible for the Academic Turn Around program.

Notwithstanding the specific regulations pertaining to Academic Performance, academic performance may be reviewed at any time and students with generally poor academic performance may be withdrawn from Open Studies at the discretion of the Office of the Registrar.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
