Good Standing signifies that the student is making satisfactory academic progress (see Academic Standards
section) and is eligible to continue studies at Mesa State College.

Academic Probation indicates a student is not in good standing and constitutes a warning to the student that the student's scholastic achievement needs improvement or suspension will result. Students will be placed on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average at Mesa State falls below the minimums listed under GPA minimum.

Upon being placed on academic probation, students are permitted to continue studies for one semester, during which time they are expected to improve their cumulative grade point average to the minimum required levels. Those who succeed will be removed from academic probation.

Students on academic probation will remain on academic probation until they raise their cumulative grade point average to the required level. Once on probation, a student must maintain a minimum semester grade point average of 2.00 to avoid being placed on academic suspension. Additionally, students with a cumulative Mesa State College grade point average of 2.00 or lower will be limited to 15 credit hours per semester.

Academic Suspension indicates the student is not in good standing and represents a temporary, involuntary
separation of the student from the College for a minimum of one semester for failure to meet minimum academic
standards.

Following an academic suspension, a student must apply for readmission to Mesa State College. For degree programs that do not have separate admission policies, the readmission to Mesa State College is also readmission to the degree program as long as the degree still exists. For degree programs having admission policies over and above admission to Mesa State College, the student must also reapply to the degree program.

A student may be suspended from and readmitted to Mesa State College a maximum of two times. Academic
suspension, when imposed, becomes effective immediately upon the recording of grades at the end of the
semester or summer term. The first suspension shall be for a period of one semester; i.e., a student suspended at the end of fall semester may not attend the following spring semester; a student suspended at the end of spring semester may not attend the following summer and fall semesters.

A student suspended at the end of summer term may not attend the following fall semester. The second suspension shall be for a period of two semesters (i.e., a student suspended at the end of fall semester may not attend the next spring or fall semester; a student suspended at the end of spring semester may not attend the following fall or spring semester). A student suspended at the end of summer term may not attend the following fall or spring semester. Students may not enroll in any credit classes whatsoever (including summer term) during the period of suspension.
