A student is in good academic standing if he or she is not on academic probation, suspension or dismissal.

 

 

A student (including freshman) will be placed on academic probation whenever his or her cumulative grade point average at Alabama State University is less than the grade point average identified below for the applicable level of cumulative graded hours:

 

Cumulative graded Hours*                                                   ASU GPA**

 0-31                                                                                         1.6

32-62                                                                                        1.8

63-92                                                                                        2.0

More than 92                                                                            2.0

 

*Cumulative grades hours include hours attempted at ASU and hours transferred from any other institution(s).

**Only the cumulative GPA earned at ASU will be used to determine the probation and suspension status (regardless of what the overall GPA may be for transfer students).

 

CLEARING PROBATION A student may clear probation by elevating the ASU cumulative grade point average to a level equal to or greater than those identified above for the applicable class level. Credits and grades earned at another institution may not be used to clear probation. Students who are placed on academic probation will be referred to the Academic Center for Educational Success (A.C.E.S.) and assigned to an ACES advisor. Additionally, probationary students will have a Retention/ACES hold on their HornetsWeb account and must adhere to prescribed services as determined by their ACES advisor. Students who fail to meet all of the above-mentioned conditions will not be considered for continued enrollment. Students with academic deficiencies are encouraged to enroll in the summer term.

 

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION A student (including a freshman) will be suspended for a regular semester if his or her cumulative grade point average at the end of a term places him or her on probation and that probationary status is not cleared at the end of the next term enrolled. A student will not be suspended at the end of a term in which he or she completes a full-time course load and earns a 2.0 (C) term grade point average, but will be continued on probation unless his or her probationary status has been cleared. Upon return from a suspension, academic status will be determined by the aforementioned probationary standards. (The reinstatement procedures are outlined below.) No credit earned at another institution by a student on suspension from ASU will be used in clearing a suspension or in meeting requirements for an Alabama State University degree.

 

ACADEMIC DISMISSAL A student who receives a second suspension will be subject to academic dismissal. Academic dismissal does not imply future reinstatement; nor does academic dismissal mean that a person is forever barred from attending Alabama State University. Students may apply for reinstatement after remaining out of Alabama State University for a minimum of two regular semesters. Dismissed students are not eligible to apply for readmission for summer terms, until he or she has remained out of Alabama State University for two regular terms.
