Evaluation of Academic Performance

In the Faculty of Social Work we conduct a review of student academic performance following every semester.

Faculty-level Probation:

If a BSW student's GPA in the social work studies section of the program (SW GPA) falls below 70.00%, that student will be placed on faculty-level academic probation. Students on Faculty-level academic probation are limited to enrolling in a maximum of 12 credit hours per term. To clear faculty-level academic probation, students must raise their SW GPA to 70% within 15 credit hours.

For full details on faculty-level academic probation, please refer to 'Faculty Regulations' in the Faculty of Social Work section of the Undergraduate Calendar. 

University-level Probation:

If a University of Regina student's undergraduate GPA (UGPA) falls below 60%, that student will be placed on university-level academic probation.  To clear university-level academic probation, students must raise their UGPA to 60% within 24 credit hours.

For full details on university-level academic probation, please refer to the 'Academic Regulations' section of the Undergraduate Calendar.

Support for Students on Probation:

Students who are on faculty-level or university-level probation will have an academic advising hold placed on their account so that a conference may be held with the student to holistically assess the her/his/their academic situation.  The academic program advisor and the student may develop a plan to address the situation, including identifying barriers to success, and determining appropriate supports and resources. Students are welcome to bring a support person with them to academic advising appointments.

Dean's List:

The Faculty of Social Work does not have a Dean's Honour List.
