2 Today`s Orientation: How UVIC calculates GPA & Standing Review UVIC Academic Integrity Lifestyles & Actions And your Academic Advisor GPA - a ticket to success! Know how to calculate GPA (Grade Point Average) Grade Grade Point Percent Description A Exceptional A Outstanding A Excellent B Satisfactory B Good B Solid C Satisfactory C Minimally satisfactory D Marginal F Unsatisfactory N Did not complete course requirements Standing GPA Good 2 Probation 1 & <2 Failed < 1 2

4 Sessions! academic standing FALL SPRING SUMMER Winter Session Summer Session Experience Shows: This will be a year of academic transitions!! o Larger classes, o Incorporating Technology and Math/Physics o Self-management of Learning o High Workload Goal: o Ensure YOU learn as much a possible Please ask questions and do so sooner, rather than later. 4

5 Academic Integrity Becoming and Acting as a Professional o Act Professionally o Show Respect Honor and Honesty o University s Academic Integrity Policy Lifestyle Misconceptions Students think... UVIC Reality.... Students use tobacco 74.1% 14% Students drink 96.4% 76.7% Binge drinking? 4 or more drinks at a time. 5

6 A Story: History Backfires! 2015 Federal Election, Victoria: Victoria liberal candidate Cheryl Thomas resigned because of controversial comments on social media. Given the results of the election, would she have been elected were it not for these comments? what exactly did she write? A reflection: How do the personal behaviours of each of us affect our future professional careers? Undergraduate Advising Bachelor of Engineering 2016 Bridge Orientation Welcome! 6
