Academic Suspension

If you are academically suspended, please do not let your educational career end here. Know that there are resources available to help you find success during this time.

Academic Suspension Defined

  • Students who are on academic probation and do not earn the minimum required term GPA will be academically suspended.
  • No student may be suspended who has not spent the prior term of enrollment on academic probation.

Timeline for Suspension

  • If placed on academic suspension, you will be on academic leave from the university for one major semester (Spring or Fall) and all contiguous summer and intersessions from the close of the term which resulted in the suspension.
    • Thus, if you are suspended at the end of the spring semester, you would not be eligible to enroll until the next spring semester; a student suspended at the end of the summer semester would not be eligible to enroll until the following spring term; and a student suspended at the end of a fall semester would not be eligible to enroll until the next fall semester.
    • The first enrollment when returning from suspension may not be in an intersession.

Applying for Readmission

If you sit out for one major semester after the term of the suspension, you may apply for readmission to the university.

  • If you do not earn credit from another institution, you may be readmitted on academic probation following suspension.
  • If you earn credit from another institution(s) during or subsequent to the suspension, you must apply to the university for admission as a transfer student and, if readmitted, will be on academic probation following suspension.

Following Readmission

  • If you are readmitted on probation after suspension, you must make a semester grade point average of at least 2.0 for each semester, (fall, spring, or summer) until you are removed from probation. Failure to do so will result in academic dismissal.

Academic Suspension and Your Future

  1. It does not mean the end of your academic career. With dedication and work, you can re-enroll in classes and get back on track.
  2. During suspension, you are encouraged to take the time to seriously consider your academic career and outline goals for how to find success as a student.
  3. A degree is still within reach.
