Electronic Forms

• Visit the Registrar's Office for many student forms including how to declare/change majors.
• Additional forms such as declaring your minor in CALS, the CALS Core Competencies, and a list of Diversity Courses can be found by going to the CALS Forms, Procedures, and Policies page.
  

Academic Probation Procedures

• At the end of a semester if your GPA is below a 2.00, the CALS Studies Committee will meet to discuss your situation and decide what your status will be for the following semester. The following is a link to requirements for readmittance to UVM.
  
• Your status in CALS is determined by the severity of your probation. A letter is sent to each student with the studies committee expectations.
• The Student Services Office and your Advisor are available to help you avoid serious problems. Feel free to contact us for assistance.
• In order to graduate from CALS, you need at least a 2.00 GPA. If you are interested in transferring into CALS, you also need at least a 2.00 GPA.

Help With Personal/Health Issues

• If you are ill and missing only one day of classes, you can contact class professors by phone or e-mail directly and leave a clear message including your name, the section of the class you are in, and that you are ill and will be missing the class.
• If you are ill or experiencing a personal problem that will cause you to miss more than a day of classes, you must contact Rose Laba in the Student Services Office. She will notify the instructors for you, but you will also need to work with that instructor to discuss his/her expectations in reference to your absence.
• It is important that you as the student (not your advisor and not your parent) contact Student Services directly if at all possible. By doing so, we will have a very clear understanding of the nature of the illness or problem and how we can best help you.
  
• We are here to help and can link you to other helpful resources such as the Center for Health and Well being or the Counseling Center!
