Admission to Amberton University is a privilege,
not a right. Admission is granted only when, in the judgment of University
officials, the applicant can benefit from our educational programs.
In order to be admitted to Amberton, the applicant must (1) be a
citizen of the United States (or permanent resident) fluent (reading,
speaking, and writing with facility and smoothness) in the English
language, (2) be twenty-one years of age or older, and (3) have successfully
completed academic work from an American, accredited college or university
as evidenced by the submission of official transcripts. (International
students should review the “International Student Advising
and Admission Requirements”)
The number of courses a student should take during a session must
be determined by the individual based upon work obligations, family
needs, and other commitments. However, an undergraduate student may
not enroll for more than twelve semester hours without an advisor’s
approval. A full-time undergraduate student is one taking 9 or more
hours in a session.
Grades are mailed to students at the end of each session. The following
grades are used with the grade point value per semester hour of credit:
MARKS UNDERGRADUATE GRADE POINTS
A Greater than 89 4.0
B Greater than 79 3.0
C Greater than 69 2.0
D Greater than 59 1.0
F Less than 60 0.0
I Incomplete Not counted
R Repeated Course Not counted
W Withdrew Not counted
An I which is not properly removed within 30 days
following the session enrolled will become an F grade. Incomplete
grades are given when an illness or emergency prevents the student
from completing course requirements. Any appeal for a change of grade
must be made within 30 days of the last class day of the session.
After 30 days, the grade of record is indisputable.
The student's
grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number
of grade points by the total number of hours attempted (not the number of hours
passed) at Amberton University. If a student has made a low grade in a course
at Amberton University and repeats the course at Amberton University, the most
current grade will be recorded and counted in his/her grade point average.
Each student has the opportunity to continue his/her education at
Amberton University as long as he/she is making satisfactory academic
progress and is complying with all University rules. The student's
cumulative grade point average is computed at the end of each session.
In order for an undergraduate student to remain in good standing
academically, he/she must maintain a grade point average of at least
2.00.
If a student fails to meet these standards, he/she will be placed
on academic probation. If he/she fails to meet these standards
during the session on probation,
he/she may be suspended from the University. A student suspended from
the University for poor academic performance will remain suspended until
a written appeal
for readmission is approved by the Vice President for Academic
Services.
It is the undergraduate student's responsibility to make written
application for his/her degree. As the student enrolls for the final
session of required course work, the student may apply for graduation
in a specific degree program. To be considered a candidate for graduation,
the student must have: (1) provided the University with all required
official transcripts, (2) removed any conditions of admission, and
(3) attained a 2.0 or better grade-point average for all academic
work. Applications for graduation are available in the Student Services
Office and on the Amberton web site. No undergraduate student will
be entitled to graduate who has not properly requested graduation.
