Achieving Good Standing – Once my cumulative ASU GPA (only classes completed at ASU) meets the requirement for academic good standing after a fall or spring term, I will be off probation. If my semester term GPA is 2.00 or above, but my cumulative ASU GPA is below academic good standing, then I will be continued on probation and can take classes the following semester.

Understanding Disqualification

If a student’sfall or spring term GPA and cumulative GPA are below 2.00 after being placed on probation, theywill be disqualified from the university. After disqualification, students are administratively dropped from any fall or spring courses that appear on their schedule.

  • Students have the option to submit a written appeal to the college. An appeal should state the circumstances leading to disqualification, how these circumstances will be overcome in the future, and a plan for improvement in the following semester.
  • After completing the Disqualification Appeal Form, I can submit it to or in person at Fulton Center 110. The deadline to appeal disqualification for the current semester is listed on the CLAS website.
  • Students who do not fulfill the conditions of their Probation Success Plan are not eligible to appeal disqualification.
  • If an appeal is denied or not submitted by the deadline, the student will not be able to attend the university for at least one academic year.
