Disqualification

Students that have been disqualified by the School of Letters and Sciences are not eligible to take classes at ASU during fall or spring semesters; however, enrollment in summer and winter classes is permitted and encouraged. There are two options for being reinstated to the School of Letters and Sciences:

  • Raise your ASU cumulative GPA to Good Academic Standing (see table below) by taking ASU summer or winter session classes.
  • Complete 12 or more transferable credits at another college or university with a GPA of 2.5 or higher and no grades lower than C. Courses may be taken over multiple semesters, but all courses taken in the interim will be considered.

Additionally, disqualified students must complete an Application for Reinstatement. In most cases, an Application for Readmission is also required. Forms and additional information are included below, but all students are encouraged to meet with an advisor in the School of Letters and Sciences to discuss their situations and develop a plan for success.

Students that are reinstated will be placed on academic probation for at least one semester. Students on probation will have one semester to raise their cumulative or semester GPA to meet the standards below. Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the university.

Academic Good Standing
Total Earned Hours
Minimum Cumulative GPA
24 or fewer
1.60
25-55
1.75
56 or more
2.00

Students that have been disqualified two or more times will not be reinstated until they achieve an ASU GPA of 2.0 or better by taking summer and winter courses.

Academic Renewal: Students who have a five-year absence from ASU may be encouraged and/or required to apply for academic renewal as part of the reinstatement process. For additional information, see an advisor or see “Academic Renewal” in the ASU catalog.
