3. Cumulative GPA below 3.0 Occurs almost every semester

• Academic Honesty ViolationPlease read UH student handbook for details

Some Tips

• All grades including D and F will stay with you even you

re-take the course for your GPA calculation.

• Online courses have strict submission deadlines. No

exceptions will be given even you are 1 second late.

• Do not take too many courses in a semester

Sharon Hall

• Scholarship submission process– Must maintain 3.0 GPA or higher– May get revoked, otherwise

• In-state tuition

• CPT during semesters

Industrial EngineeringGo for It

OPT/CPT, etc

• Summer internships– Must be approved by the department prior to the employment– Must register for the summer (3 cr)– Must have an academic advisor who can evaluate your work

• Reduced course load

• Internship during a semester (F1 students)– Allowed only if department approves, but strongly discouraged.

Important Academic Policies

• Get familiar with the Graduate School:– http://www.uh.edu/graduate-school/

• Academic Honesty Policies – http://catalog.uh.edu/content.php?catoid=9&n

avoid=1866• Five- and Ten-Year Degree time limits• Leave of Absence Requests

– An approved LOA is essentially the college’s permission to not enroll for a semester or year.

– Student should self-drop any enrolled courses prior to requesting a leave.

6

Important Academic Policies

• Student self-service enrollment– The student is the responsible party for enrolling and

dropping coursework using the online system and/or completing the appropriate paperwork (found on our forms website www.uh.edu/graduate-school/forms).

– Even if the department tells the student we will complete an enrollment action on your behalf, it is the student’s responsibility to monitor their account to ensure the action occurs.

– The same self-service concept applies to finances.• More Important Graduate Academic Policies
