Academic Suspension

Academic suspension designates a time period during which a student is not eligible to enroll in courses due to his/her unsatisfactory academic work. A student will be academically suspended if, while on probation, he/she does not achieve a semester GPA of 2.0 or greater.

A student placed on academic suspension for the first time may not register for courses at the university for the following regular (fall or spring) semester and the intervening summer term should the student be dismissed after the spring semester. A second suspension will result in a student not being able to enroll in courses for an entire academic year consisting of two regular semesters. A third suspension will result in academic dismissal from the University. Academic suspension status will be posted on the student's academic record.

Any course work taken at another institution while a student is on academic suspension will not be accepted for transfer credit and will not be used to fulfill degree requirements or to modify the GPA.

Following suspension, an application for readmission is required. If readmission is approved by the Admissions Committee, the student will be placed on academic probation.
