Mid-Semester Review Process

Around the midpoint of each term, instructors provide undergraduate students with a mid-term grade to indicate how they are progressing in the course.

No Evaluation Listed

If no evaluation is listed for a course, the instructor was unable to provide the information and the student should contact them directly for feedback.

An Opportunity for Students

The Mid-Semester Review Process gives students an opportunity to talk with instructors and advisors, and use the services UB has to offer to achieve academic success.

‘MU’ and Low Grades May Indicate Concerns

Mid-semester reviews are not final grades nor do they predict final grades. However, a midterm unsatisfactory (“MU”) or any grade below a “C” means there may be concerns about:

  • Attendance
  • Inadequate preparation for class
  • Study skills
  • Adjustment issues
  • Poor performance on tests

Actions a Student Should Take for ‘MU’ or Low Grades

If a student receives an “MU” (midterm unsatisfactory) or any grade below a “C” they should take action.

Resigning from a Course

Students may resign from a course. However, there may be academic and/or financial consequences. Students should talk with their advisor and learn more about resigning a course.
