Suspension

Any student, who after two consecutive semesters (excluding summer terms) on academic probation and has not earned the GPA specified in UAR 123.06, will be suspended from the University. The suspension period following a fall semester is the spring semester; following a spring semester, the suspension period is for the summer terms and fall semester. During a suspension period, a student will be ineligible for any credits at Morehead State University.

Students suspended under this policy have the following two options:

1. They may appeal by petitioning a hearing before the Committee on Academic Standards and Appeals if the student believes the suspension was the result of circumstances beyond his or her control. If an appeal of the suspension is granted, the student must meet all additional requirements set forth by the Committee on Academic Standards and Appeals. The committee may, in some cases, waive the requirement that the student has attempted 45 credit hours before declaring bankruptcy. Requests for appeals are made in the Office of Academic Advising and Retention.
2. They may reapply after the lapse of one semester (excluding summer school). Students wanting to return to MSU will need to complete a new application and meet with the admissions appeal committee for consideration to be readmitted. Students returning after suspension will be required to complete and participate in the Academic Recovery Program upon readmittance to the University. See also the Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress Standard which is a separate process.
