Academic Warning
Policy Basis
This page is compiled from the "Qingdao University Undergraduate Academic Warning Interim Management Measures" (Document No. QDU-Jiao [2015] 18), effective from the Class of 2014 onwards. If there are any changes, please refer to the latest documents from the Academic Affairs Office.
Academic warning is a system for the university to remind and provide targeted support to students who have developed learning problems or academic difficulties. It is conducted once per semester.
Warning Levels
| Level | Trigger Condition |
|---|---|
| Yellow Warning | Earning an average of fewer than 15 credits across two consecutive semesters; or accumulating 50%–70% failing grades in required courses |
| Red Warning | Earning an average of fewer than 15 credits across three consecutive semesters; or accumulating more than 70% failing grades in required courses |
Work Process
- At the beginning of each semester, the department compiles students' academic situations, determines the academic warning list, and files it with the Academic Affairs Office
- The department issues the "Qingdao University Student Academic Warning Notice" to students and arranges dedicated personnel for academic guidance and support
- The department sends the "Qingdao University Student Academic Warning Parent Notification Letter" to students' parents, retaining mailing proof and receipts
Support Requirements
- Students who receive a warning should promptly adjust their course plan under the guidance of their academic advisor. In principle, retaking failed required courses takes priority
- For students who receive a red warning, the department will communicate with parents to jointly provide support
