Quarter/Semester Update Instructions & Checklist
Please read the following information carefully before emailing your Quarter/Semester Update to support [at] baskinfoundation.org.
Every student must submit a completed Quarter/Semester Update at the end of each term, by the deadline posted on the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation timeline. Reminder: If a recipient’s GPA for a given term falls below a 3.0, the student must submit a performance plan to the Foundation in addition to the completed Quarter/Semester Update and all required attachments. If the student’s cumulative UC GPA falls below 2.0 or if the student does not enroll full-time, they are no longer eligible to receive this scholarship.
The Quarter/Semester Update must include all of the following:
- Unofficial Transcript
- This must include course titles, grades, number of units for each course, term GPA, and cumulative GPA.
- A copy of your official University bill of tuition and related expenses.
- This is often called an account summary. It must include all expenses, awards, and refunds.
- Performance Plan (if term GPA is below a 3.0).
- If a student’s grades have fallen below a 3.0 term GPA, you must submit a plan of how you will improve your academic performance for the following term. The plan may include working with a tutor, joining a study group, meeting with professors during office hours, taking minimum number of courses instead of extra courses, etc. You will lose funding if your GPA falls below a 2.0 cumulative UC GPA.
- The Foundation asks students to submit a performance plan because we have found that it helps students create an action plan with concrete steps to reach academic success, such as attending office hours or tutoring.
