At the conclusion of each term, academic standing is determined for all students. Students' average grades are calculated based on all King's courses in order to determine their academic standing.
For all students registered in at least nine credits, academic performance is classified according to the standards and has the implications noted in the tables following.

1.The year of study referred to in the academic performance charts is as of the end of the term being assessed.
2.A student who has been required to withdraw from the University will not be considered for re-admission until two regular terms of study have elapsed.
3.A student who has been required to withdraw from another post-secondary institution normally will not be admitted to The King's University until two regular terms of study have expired.
4.A student who has been admitted on probation may be required to meet specific conditions as well as those required of all other full-time students.
5.Any student having been placed on academic warning or probation or who has been asked to withdraw may appeal to their Faculty Dean within 30 days of receiving notice. After a successful meeting with the Faculty Dean the student must submit a signed "Confirmation of Conference" form to the Registration and Student Finance Office. Academic standing will be changed once the student registers in courses and the tuition deposit is paid. Academic Warning is a cautionary status but carries no course registration restriction. Academic Probation requires that students restrict their registration to less than a full load as specified in their academic standing letter.
6.Students wishing to return to studies after being asked to withdraw must enrol and be successful in EDUC 211. Students with repeated probationary status may also be required to enrol in and pass EDUC 211.
