Council Review Process
Academic Standards Office and Standards Committee Review
If you have a grade change or a grade dispute please review the procedure here.
First, the Academic Standards Office reviews all the petitions and makes recommendations.
For example, if a student does not have a major, we may recommend a student take career assessments. If a student struggles with math, we may recommend that a student visit the math lab.
After the Academic Standards Office has made their recommendations, they hold a meeting with the Academic Standards Committee.
The Academics Standard Office presents the students' petition along with their recommendation and the Academic Standards Committee makes additional suggestions, approves of or disapproves of recommendations.
Review Time Frame and Results
The petition review process generally takes between 4-6 weeks.
After the committee has made their recommendations, the Academic Standards Office prepares response letters.
Each petitioning student will receive an letter detailing the requirements to return to UVU. This letter will be sent via email to the student's UVU email account.
In addition, students are generally required to take a specific class as part of their requirements to return, such as:
After You Receive Your Letter
Begin working on completing the requirements in your letter.
Once the requirements are completed, you will need to set up an appointment with the Academic Standards Director:
- During this meeting you will discuss the requirements you have completed and make a plan for the semester
- The Director will remove your holds and help you register
You will have a monthly grade check as part of your requirements for suspension.
You must get a 2.0 for the semester you return or you will be moved to Dismissal status.
