The University of Toledo Policy Website offers access to all relevant policy, operational procedures, governing documents and handbooks for The University of Toledo. The University College Standard Operating Procedures outlined below govern the administration of University College  programs and services in compliance with the UToledo Academic Undergraduate Policies. 

Declaring /Changing Majors

Students in good standing who wish to change from University College to another prospective college should make an appointment with a college advisor in the University College Student Services Office to discuss their intended transfer and have their academic records reviewed. All college requirements, including core and distributive as well as major and related requirements, must be fulfilled as specified in the catalog for the year in which the student enters the college of their choice. Some colleges have selective admission or deadlines for an intended major. These deadlines are strictly enforced.

Required academic performance

Student must maintain a 2.0 grade point average to remain in academic good standing within University College.

Academic Alert

Students with less than 30 UToledo GPA hours and with less than a 2.0 UToledo cumulative GPA will receive an Academic Alert.  An Academic Alert serves as an early alert to below-average academic performance. Students who receive an Academic Alert are required to enroll in a University-sponsored academic recovery program the following semester. The program is designed to provide students with the skills and support necessary to improve academically.

Academic Warning

Students will be placed on Academic Warning when their cumulative GPA has dropped below 2.0, and they have 30 or more UToledo GPA cumulative semester hours.

In successive semesters, students with a cumulative UToledo GPA below 2.0 will remain on Academic Warning. Students will be removed from Academic Warning when their cumulative UToledo GPA is 2.0 or greater.

A student on Academic Warning is required to fulfill requirements to remain eligible for registration. These requirements include, but are not limited to, participation in a University-sponsored academic recovery program, regular attendance in courses, utilizing University tutoring and/or other student success initiatives. 

Academic Suspension

Students must be given a minimum of one semester on Academic Warning prior to being placed on academic suspension. Students may remain on Academic Warning as long as their semester GPA is above 2.0 and their cumulative GPA is below 2.0. If a student’s semester GPA and cumulative GPA both fall below 2.0 after a semester on Academic Warning, a student may be suspended.   

University College follows The University of Toledo's Academic Standing Policy as it pertains to suspension and attempted credit hours.

Academic Dismissal

Students who have been suspended previously for one year, who have been reinstated and now are facing suspension again will be academically dismissed for three years.

Reinstatement - University College Students

Students who have been suspended from another academic college at The University of Toledo will not be reviewed until they have served their academic suspension from that college.

Reinstatement Procedure

All reinstatement documentation must be submitted by the student to the University College email address at universitycollege@utoledo.edu. Consult your advisor for further details.  Students who have active holds on their account will not be reviewed until those holds are cleared.

Review of Reinstatement Documentation

All documentation is reviewed by the Academic Review Committee.  The decision of approval/denial of appeals will be sent from the University College email account to the student’s University email account. If denied, students may petition for reinstatement in a future term. Students approved for reinstatement may additionally be required to complete non-credit workshops or programs designed to help ensure their academic success.
