Academic Standing & Recovery
Academic Suspension means:
- Cumulative Institutional (TTU) GPA is less than 2.0 for the term following probation, or per the standing guidelines as outlined.
- Term of suspension is a minimum of one full academic term (fall or spring).
- Students are not allowed to attend TTU, nor appeal for immediate reinstatement.
- Registration hold will be placed on records.
- Student must apply for readmission for a term following the suspension in a timely
manner to allow for complete processing and consideration of reinstatement:
- If student took coursework elsewhere, a minimum GPA of 2.0 on the transfer work will be required.
- Readmission decision to be determined by the student's Academic Dean. If the student
is approved for readmission following completion of the suspension term, the student
is reinstated and eligible to attend courses and participate in all extracurricular
activities as governed by the rules of the specific activity and subject to the conditions
established by the Academic Dean or committee granting permission to attend classes.
If readmitted, the Student must follow the Advising/Registration/Grading requirements
for Academic Probation status.
If readmitted, at the end of the next enrolled term:
- If the term and institutional TTU GPA is above 2.0, Academic Standing for that term
would be Academic Good Standing.
- If the term is above 2.0, but the institutional TTU GPA remains below 2.0, Academic Standing for that term would be Academic Probation.
- If the term and institutional TTU GPA is below 2.0, Academic Standing for that term would be Academic Dismissal.
