A student on academic probation will be suspended from Grambling State University at the conclusion of any semester or summer session in which a grade point average of at least 2.0 is not obtained. A first-time freshman, admitted in good standing, will not be suspended prior to the completion of two semesters of enrollment. Registration will be cancelled for a student who registers during early or regular registration (prior to the end of a semester or summer session) and is then suspended.

FIRST SUSPENSION: The first period of suspension will be for one regular semester. A student suspended from the University for the first time at the end of the spring semester may attend the summer session without appeal. If the cumulative GPA is raised to 2.0 or higher, the student is placed in academic good standing and the suspension period is lifted. The student may then attend the fall semester without appeal. If the cumulative GPA is not raised to a 2.0 or higher in the summer session, the suspension for the fall semester will remain in effect. In this case, only one suspension is counted.

SECOND OR SUBSEQUENT SUSPENSION: Students suspended from the University for a second or subsequent time at the end of the spring semester may also attend summer school. To be readmitted to any semester other than the summer session, he/she must appeal. The student must remain out of the University or any other University of Louisiana System for one calendar year. The student may then apply for readmission, which may be granted, delayed, or denied.

An undergraduate student suspended from a University of Louisiana institution may not enroll in another university within the System, but may enroll in a community college with approval of both the suspending institution and the community college. Credits earned under these conditions may be accepted for a degree at the suspending institution provided grades of "C" or higher are earned in each of the courses to be transferred.

Transfer students who have been suspended from other systems may appeal to enroll at a University of Louisiana institution during the academic suspension period only if they have a 2.0 cumulative average. Appeals may be granted or denied.

APPEAL: If a student is on academic suspension due to extenuating circumstances, he/she may send a written appeal for immediate reinstatement to his/her academic dean. Supporting documents for the extenuating circumstances must be sent along with the letter of appeal. Gaining readmission by appeal does not remove the suspension from the academic records.
