What if I'm on Academic Warning?
|
The College Curriculum Council
prepared guidelines for foreign study at Brown. The
following statement refers to students on academic warning:
"Students must be in good academic standing to study abroad."
|
Educational systems vary widely around the world. To study abroad, students must demonstrate that they have been firmly grounded at Brown, both personally and academically. They should be able to adjust to different-even difficult and unusual circumstances in their daily life and classes abroad.
Students planning to study abroad are expected to be making good progress towards graduation and concentration requirements. They must also be mature, flexible, and independent enough to capitalize on their international experience. It is for these reasons that the College Curriculum Council generated rules requiring students to be in good academic standing. For many programs abroad, the minimum academic standard for admission is a B average (3.0 GPA).
Students currently on Disciplinary Dismissal from Brown or Serious Academic Warning will not be allowed to study abroad. Only in very unusual circumstances will a student who is on Warning be allowed to plan for and study abroad. A student on Warning who wishes to petition the Committee on Academic Standing for an exception to the rules must explain the unusual circumstances in her or his life that might justify such an exception.
See the Director of the Office of International Programs for an Academic Warning petition form and more information.
