Academic probation/suspension

Probation

At the end of each fall and spring semester, your Texas State GPA will be calculated. Transfer work and developmental courses are never used to determine academic probation or suspension.

A student will be placed on academic probation at the end of the fall or spring semester in which the Texas State GPA is less than 2.00. A student will be removed from academic probation at the end of any long semester or summer term if the Texas State GPA is 2.00 or higher.

Students placed on academic probation are given two probationary semesters (fall or spring terms) to raise their Texas State GPA to 2.00.

For example, if a student is placed on academic probation because the Texas State GPA has fallen to 1.85, then at the end of the two following probationary semesters the Texas State GPA must be 2.00 or higher, or the student will be placed on first academic suspension.

All undergraduate science students who are on probation will be required to meet with an academic advisor in the College of Science and Engineering Undergraduate Advising Center. Please contact the Advising Center to schedule an appointment.

 Suspension

  • First suspension: the student cannot attend TX State classes for one long semester
  • Second suspension: the student cannot attend TX State classes for two calendar years
  • Third+ suspension: the student cannot attend TX State classes indefinitely

Suspension appeal

Students placed on academic suspension will receive an email regarding their suspension status a few business days after grades post. The email will include directions about how to appeal your academic suspension.

If your suspension appeal is approved, you will be allowed to continue taking classes at Texas State the following semester.

Spring semester suspension & summer coursework

Students who are placed on first academic suspension from Texas State at the end of the spring semester will be reinstated by the Registrar on academic probation for the following fall semester if they:

  1. Attend both summer terms at Texas State
  2. Pass nine semester hours
  3. Earn a 2.00 GPA on all work attempted in both terms
    or
    Raise their Texas State GPA to 2.00 or greater at the end of the second summer term
