Academic Policies
ACADEMIC ADVISORS
Students with 24 hours or fewer will be advised by the advisors in the Freshman Advising Center. Once a student has earned 25 hours or more, she/he will be advised by a major or departmental advisor. Advisors will assist students in selection of a specific major if they have been accepted with an Undecided program. Students should contact the Office of Student Records at 817/531-4414, the Freshman Liaison at 817/531-5824, or the Transfer Liaison at 817/531-4923 if unsure of their current assigned advisor.
ACADEMIC HONOR LIST (DEAN’S LIST)
Students enrolled for 6 or more college-level, academic credit hours during one semester, who have a grade point average of 3.5 or above and no grade lower than “C” during the semester, will be placed on the Academic Honor List (Dean’s List). This honor is determined at the end of spring and fall semesters.
ACADEMIC HONORS
Academic honors are awarded for work performed by the student during her/his entire college career. Students must complete a minimum of 45 hours at Texas Wesleyan University to be eligible for honors at graduation.
Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.85-4.0 receive the designation summa cum laude. Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.7-3.84 receive the designation magna cum laude. Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5-3.69 receive the designation cum laude. Grade point averages transferred from other colleges will be averaged with grade points earned at Texas Wesleyan in determining the honors.
Students who have graduated with an associate’s degree from a community college are eligible to graduate from Texas Wesleyan with honors as prescribed above.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Academic standards are designed to provide close supervision of the program of study and academic progress of a student. Academic standing is based upon a student's Texas Wesleyan University cumulative grade point average (see definition above) and all course work attempted at Texas Wesleyan University and other colleges or universities.
Good Academic Standing
A student will be classified as in good academic standing when she/he maintains a cumulative academic grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher on all semester hours attempted.
Academic Probation/Suspension
If, at the end of a semester, a student’s cumulative grade point average for the total number of hours attempted falls below 2.0, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following semester and “Academic Probation” will be recorded on her/his transcript. Students may continue on academic probation for a period of two consecutive long semesters.
