How Do I...Submit an Academic Appeal?

All students must maintain a 2.0 overall GPA to be in good standing and are given one probation semester after their overall GPA drops below 2.0 at the end of fall or spring semesters. If the overall GPA does not reach a 2.0 in that probation semester or if the semester GPA is below 2.5, students are suspended. A student who was placed on suspension must earn a minimum 2.00 GPA the first semester back and raise the cumulative GPA to at least 2.00 by the end of the second semester back or earn a 2.50 GPA for every semester following the suspension until the cumulative GPA is 2.00 or greater.

Any appeal for exceptions to the policy must be based on very unusual circumstances. A successful appeal allows a student on suspension to return to classes before their required suspension period has ended. Academic Appeals require extenuating circumstances and a detailed plan for success. See more information or complete an Academic Appeal form.
