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.

REINSTATEMENTS: 

Students who have ALREADY served a suspension (those who have not been enrolled at Missouri State for at least one semester excluding the summer) may request reinstatement (students who have served more than one suspension must wait a year before they are eligible for reinstatement).  If you plan to pursue a major outside of MCHHS, please contact that college for instruction.
