Academic Suspension

Students placed on academic suspension for the spring 2008 semester are:

  1. Students with an overall GPA below 1.0, or
  2. Students that were on academic probation in the fall semester and have an overall GPA below 2.0.

Suspension Duration

ACU policy states that suspended students will not be allowed to enroll for at least one long semester. Thus, a student on academic suspension for the spring 2008 semester may apply for re-enrollment to ACU for the fall 2008 semester.

 

Appealing Academic Suspension

If extenuating circumstances contributed to a student's academic suspension, the student may appeal their suspension by the following the process:

 

  1. All appeals must be in writing and must be received in the Registrar's Office by 8:00 a.m., Monday, January 7, 2008. If an appeal is not received by that deadline, the student's classes will be dropped and the student will not be eligible to enroll in the spring semester.
  2. Appeals must include (a) circumstances contributing to the academic situation and any documentation of those circumstances, (b) steps the student has already taken to address these issues, and (c) the student's suggested plan of action for raising their GPA.
  3. Send appeals to the Registrar's Office, ACU Box 29141, Abilene, TX 79699; or FAX to 325-674-2238; or email to registrar@acu.edu.  Again, appeals will not be accepted after 8:00 a.m., Monday, January 7, 2008.
  4. The Suspension Appeals Committee will review all appeals submitted by the deadline and will notify students of the Committee’s decisions no later than Thursday, January 10, 2008, via ACU email addresses. The decision of the Committee is final and may not be appealed.

If an appeal is denied, classes for which the student is registered will be dropped.  While suspended, courses taken at another institution will not be applied to a student's degree plan without prior written approval of the student's academic dean (as per the ACU Catalog).

If a student does not wish to appeal their suspension, no action is necessary for the spring 2008 semester. The student will be automatically removed from classes and campus housing after the deadline for appeals has past. 

A student wishing to return to ACU for the fall 2008 semester must apply for re-admission.
