ACADEMIC POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

The following reference to academic regulations is a general summary of important aspects and does not constitute the entire set of academic policies. UNIBE's academic requirements and regulations are contained in the Academic Regulations Handbook.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Students are expected to be making satisfactory academic progress to be able to participate in Student Financial Assistance Programs.

Eligibility is contingent upon a student remaining in good standing and making satisfactory progress towards a degree. A student is in Good Academic Standing when he/she is considered to be making satisfactory progress.

UNIBE has established a policy to determine the academic progress of its students, which is moderate in quantitative and qualitative terms.

Quantitative measurement

The quantitative requirement establishes that the student will have to approve sixty six percent of the credits attempted until the first half of the training program.

Time to complete

Every student enrolled in a degree-granting program must complete said program within a period of time that shall not exceed one and one half times the normal established completion time. In the event that a student fails to complete the program in the allotted time he/she may be dismissed from the program. If the student asks to complete the program without receiving the diploma he/she will be able to do that receiving a certificate of attendance. This condition does not apply to other levels of study.

Qualitative measurement

The qualitative measurement is based on the GPA of the student. The student must have obtained the minimum established GPA of 2.0 by the midpoint of the program.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The Accumulated GPA corresponds to all credit-bearing courses taken by the student at UNIBE until such time a degree is conferred. The Accumulated GPA is calculated by multiplying the number of credits of all subjects taken by the grade obtained according to its numerical value, adding the points obtained in this multiplication and dividing them by the total amount of credits taken to date.
