Washington State University and its various colleges reserve the right to change the rules regulating admission to, instruction in, and graduation from Washington State University and any other regulations affecting the student body. Such regulations shall go into effect whenever the proper authorities may determine and shall apply to prospective students and to those who may at that time be enrolled.
Undergraduate Academic Deficiency
39.
Undergraduate students are dismissed from the University after the third semester (excluding winter and summer session) in which the cumulative grade point average is below 2.0. (The three semesters do not have to be consecutive for the dismissal policy to apply.) Individuals who are dismissed from the university must wait a minimum of two full semesters (fall/spring, spring/fall) to re-enroll for courses offered through any WSU campus. To re-enroll for courses offered through any WSU campus students must apply for reinstatement and WSU Admissions. Dismissed individuals may not seek status as a 'non-degree seeking student.' Dismissed students may enroll in summer session.
Appeal of Academic Dismissal
Students may appeal a dismissal in cases where there are compelling and documented circumstances. If the appeal is approved, the student may return to the university without sitting out two full semesters upon reinstatement. Appeals are considered where the student has otherwise demonstrated an ability to succeed at the university and the compelling circumstances that led to the poor academic performance have been resolved.
