1. Common reasons why international students are persuaded to quit
Lack of academic abilitySome international students are not fully prepared before going abroad, their high school grades are not satisfactory, and their language skills are insufficient, resulting in their inability to adapt to the learning rhythm and requirements of overseas universities, and their final grades are poor.
Poor learning attitudeSome international students lack the initiative to learn, often skip classes, do not complete homework seriously, and even plagiarism, substitute exams and other academic misconduct, resulting in a decline in academic performance.
Language barriers: Some international students lack language skills, find it difficult to understand class content and academic materials, and are unable to study and communicate effectively, which affects their academic performance.
Excessive psychological stressSome international students find it difficult to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, and cultural differences, homesickness, academic pressure and other factors lead to excessive psychological pressure and poor mental state, which affects their learning.
Other factorsFor example, factors such as improper course selection, sudden illness, family changes, financial difficulties, etc., may also affect the academic performance of international students, resulting in their failure to successfully complete their studies.
2. Criteria for determining the dismissal of international students
Different universities have different requirements for international students' academic performance, and the specific criteria for judging will also be different. Generally speaking, colleges and universities will determine whether international students need to be dissuaded based on the following aspects:
GPA scores: GPA is an important indicator of international students' academic performance, and most colleges and universities will set a minimum GPA requirement, such as 20 or 30. If the GPA score of international students is lower than this standard, they may be discouraged.
Failure rateSome colleges and universities will limit the failure rate of international students, such as stipulating that no more than two courses can be failed in a semester, and if the failure rate of international students exceeds a certain percentage, they may be discouraged.
Academic WarningInternational students may be discouraged if they do not improve their studies after receiving an academic warning.
Other factorsFor example, colleges and universities may consider factors such as an international student's learning attitude, attendance, and academic integrity to determine whether he or she needs to be dissuaded.
