Suspension and Reinstatement
At the end of each academic semester (Fall, Spring, Summer), the university assesses students' academic performance to help ensure progression. If a student's cumulative or semester grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.0, the university may take scholastic action by placing a student on probation or suspension. Scholastic decisions are made at the close of each semester after grades have been finalized. Please note, these decisions are NOT final until after each college has reviewed students' records.
Students will be officially notified of their academic status through an academic advising note posted to My.MissouriState.edu and via email (sent to the official MSU email account). Detailed instructions about the appeal process are included in these documents.

If you were suspended at the end of Spring 2026, you MUST follow the appeal process outlined above. If you plan to pursue a major outside of MCHHS, please contact that college for instruction.
