What is Academic Suspension?
A student whose cumulative University of Alabama GPA (the overall GPA for courses taken at this university only) is below the appropriate scholastic progress standard at the end of the spring semester. The suspended student will be allowed to enroll in the summer term in order to improve his or her University of Alabama GPA. See Ms. Daria (305 Phifer) or Ms. Sims (418-D Phifer) immediately upon receiving an academic suspension notice.
A student is placed on Academic Suspension if the student fails to achieve Good Standing while on Probation. The student must stay out of school for one semester or choose to remain in school with Restricted Enrollment status. To return to school the student must write a letter of appeal to the Office of Academic Affairs. When the student returns the academic status of the student is Academic Warning and the Warning-Probation-Suspension process starts over. That is, the student will have two-semesters at most to raise the GPA to the Required Minimum and return to Good Standing or the student will be suspended again. The maximum number of suspensions allowed is two. At the third suspension, the student will be suspended from GSW for a minimum of one calendar year. For more information, please refer to the GSW Bulletin.

The designation “Academic Suspension” will print on the student’s transcript for that semester.

Students suspended following the fall semester may not return to the University in the subsequent spring semester or in any session of the subsequent summer term. Students suspended following the spring semester may not return in any session of the subsequent summer term or in the subsequent fall term.
