Suspension

Mayville State University’s suspension policy requires students to attain a minimum term grade point average of 1.00 for each semester. The suspension policy also requires students to achieve grade point averages at or above the following:

• 1.70 cumulative GPA at the conclusion of the semester in which the total number of institutional and transfer hours attempted reaches 24 semester hours; and,
• 2.00 cumulative GPA at the conclusion of any semester in which the number of institutional and transfer hours attempted reaches or exceeds 64 semester hours.

Attempted credits include all courses (except withdrawals) on a student’s record, including repeated and no credit courses, “Fs”, incompletes, etc.

A student who is suspended following the spring semester will be permitted to enroll for the summer session in an attempt to raise their cumulative grade point average (GPA) above the designated suspension level prior to the fall semester.

Failure to meet the above standards will result in academic suspension, for a maximum period of one year. Students who are suspended from the University for failure to meet the academic standards are notified of their status in writing and through the University’s e-mail system.

Transfer and returning students must meet the above academic standards for admission to the University. The applications of transfer and returning students who fail to meet this standard for admission will be reviewed and decided on by the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee. The Committee may impose special conditions of admission for transfer and returning students who fail to meet the academic standards.

Students on academic suspension from another institution of higher education will normally be denied admission until that suspension has expired.
