To receive that approval, faculty must attach a detailed explanation of the reason for the mistake. Rarely would another reason be entertained as legitimate for a grade change. A student who disputes a grade on an assignment must discuss the situation with the faculty member teaching the course. If students believe that they have been graded improperly, they may follow the grade appeal process defined above (Article 4). Academic Probation Students will be placed on Academic Probation at the conclusion of any long semester (fall or spring) when their institutional cumulative grade point average at Texas A&M International University falls below 2.0. Such students are encouraged to participate to the fullest in academic support programs and to seek academic advising. Students who have been placed on academic probation will be allowed to enroll for one additional one semester in an attempt to achieve the required institutional cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better.
