GPA DETERMINES ACADEMIC STANDING, WHICH AFFECTS FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY, DEGREE COMPLETION TIME FRAME, AND ABILITY TO ATTEND UNO.
ACADEMIC STANDING ACTIONS
Academic Good Standing = Cumulative GPA (CGPA) at least 2.0. Academic Warning = Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is at least 2.0, but term GPA (TGPA) is below 2.0. A cademic Probation= Cumulative GPA (CGPA) below 2.0. Academic suspension follows if any term GPA (TGPA) is below 2.0 during this period. A cademic Suspension/ Dismissal (SD) = Suspended from attending UNO due to earning a term GPA below 2.0 while on academic probation. Must reapply for admission to UNO.
SD1- suspended 1 semester SD2- suspended full academic year (fall and spring semesters) SD3- dismissal
EXCEPTIONS
if SD1 occurs at the end of spring, students can take summer classes to try to raise their CGPA to at least a 2.0 and avoid suspension.
ACADEMIC STANDING ROAD MAP
Keisha is a 1st gen. college student and had a difficult time transitioning to college. She earned a 1.7 GPA in her first semester and was placed on academic probation. She met with her academic advisor, created an academic success plan, and enrolled in UNIV 1003. She earned above a 2.0 for the next two semesters, raised her CGPA to at least 2.0, and returned to good academic standing.
Mohamed's manager wouldn't accommodate his class schedule. He found another job that allowed him to prioritize school, but he ended the semester with a 1.1 TGPA and was placed on academic warning. He had family difficulties the next semester. He met with an academic coach who connected him with counseling services and advised him to contact his professors to see if he could pass his classes. Upon his professors' recommendation, he withdrew from classes to save his GPA. Mohamed continued therapy and returned the next semester in a better mindset. He earned a 3.0 TGPA and returned to good academic standing. Mai was placed on SD1 and sat out a semester. Mai was academically ready to return to UNO, but they were homeless and living out of their car. They met with a financial aid counselor who explained that Mai could receive additional aid due to their housing status. Mai worked with financial aid to be certified as homeless and received enough aid to live on campus. Mai, consistently, earned above a 2.0 TGPA and eventually returned to good academic standing.

New Section Code Guide (Beginning Spring 2021)
We will be switching our current section numbers to codes with more identifiable properties beginning with our Spring of 2021 schedule. These codes will align with the instruction modes we have in WebStar. They are meant to make identifying the type of course more instinctual for both our schedulers and our students.
Section Code Definition R
Directed Research (Thesis, etc)
H
Hybrid
I
Independent Studies/Internship On Demand (asynchronous)
O
P
In Person
W
Web Conferencing (synchronous) Special Programs
UH

SS
Student Support Services
PW CB DE MS
Pathways
College Beyond Dual Enrollment

SA EC

Civic Engagement Message Course
MC
Essentially a course ’ s section code will be defined by the letter codes listed above and a one to three- digit number (whichever fits) identifying how many of that particular course and mode has been scheduled.
For example:
ENGL 1157 H001 would be a hybrid course, if there are two hybrid ENGL 1157 the next would be ENGL 1157 H002 (and so on). ENGL 1157 W001 would be a synchronous online course, W002 would be the second offering of a synchronous 1157 and so on. Our special programs will use a combination of these course codes. Two letters of the program identifier and the letter of the instruction mode.
Example:
ENGL 1157 PWP1 would be an in-person course designated for students in Pathways. ENGL 1157 UHO1 would be an asynchronous online course for honors students.
