The primary mission of the Academic Coaching & Educational Standards department is to promote students’ academic success and assist those experiencing academic difficulty. When students fall below the 2.0 GPA standard as outlined in UVU policy, we help them become active and independent learners through increasing self-awareness, developing skills, and accessing resources.
Our department oversees UVU Policy 521: Undergraduate Academic Standards, which includes the requirement to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher to remain in Good Standing.
When students fall below the cumulative GPA of 2.0 for the second consecutive semester, our programs and services aim to bring them back on course toward academic success and graduation. Therefore, we primarily work with students on Continued Notice and varying levels of Suspension or Dismissal. Our goal is to understand students' challenges so we can help them succeed.
Though Financial Aid is also affected by Academic Standing, our office does not handle those issues. You can learn more about Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) here.

Coaching Mindset:I genuinely believe my students have within themselves the knowledge, resources, and power to meet their potential. I meet students wherever they are in their journey, to help them identify their value, purpose and contributions as human beings, and identify the ways in which they can best find their own success.
