Academic Probation and Suspension

1. If you have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or above, you are considered to be in Good Academic Standing.
2. When your cumulative grade point average falls below 2.00, you will be placed on Academic Probation and will be subject to the restrictions placed on probationary students. Early in the term immediately following the assignment of probationary status, you will receive written notification of probation and information regarding the suspension policy. If you are placed on Academic Probation, you must receive intensive academic counseling and advising during the next term of enrollment. An adviser will help you identify solutions and develop a plan of action.
3. If you are on Academic Probation, you will not be returned to good standing until your cumulative average is 2.00.
4. If you are on Academic Probation and fail to attain a 2.00 average for the next term of attendance, you will be placed on Academic Suspension. Once suspended, you will no longer hold major status in an academic program.
5. If suspended, you will be ineligible to attend SIUE for at least one term. You may reenroll only upon favorable action of the Suspension Appeals Committee, provided you agree to intensive academic advisement and counseling. You and your adviser in Academic Counseling and Advising must reach agreement upon a plan of action. The Suspension Appeals Committee is administered by Academic Counseling and Advising and, in cases where a student had been accepted to a major, the committee may include a representative from the major department. You must file an appeal before any action will be taken by the Suspension Appeals Committee.

If you are suspended and permitted to re-enroll, you will automatically revert to undeclared status. However, upon reinstatement to the University, the faculty of the major department shall be asked to indicate whether you will be readmitted as a major. Upon reinstatement to the University, you may request a major when you meet the admission criteria for a given program.

Suspended students who have been permitted to reenroll will return on probation. Ordinarily, if you are suspended more than once, you will not be reinstated at SIUE.
