Appeal of Academic Standing

See below for the Academic Standing rules* from the 2018-2019 EIU Undergraduate Catalog.
If you believe that extraordinary circumstances you experienced call for an exception to be made to the academic standing rules, you may submit an appeal. Appeals of the standing earned in a grading period must be submitted prior to the start of the next grading period. In the event of approval, a one-semester override of your standing will be placed and you will be notified by e-mail. Approval of an appeal will be rare and requires extraordinary circumstances. To appeal complete the following:

*The following rules apply to students as soon as they attempt at least nine semester hours of academic courses at EIU. (Please note that in the discussion below, a 鈥済rading period鈥� is any fall, spring, or summer semester or term.)

Academic Warning
If, at the end of a grading period, a student鈥檚 cumulative GPA in courses taken at the University falls below 2.00, but not so low as to warrant academic dismissal, that student will be placed on academic warning.
Students placed on academic warning for the first time will be required to enroll in EIU 2919 the following fall or spring semester. Students must complete the course with a 鈥淐鈥� or better. Failure to enroll in this course by the first day of classes will result in a hold being placed on the student鈥檚 record. This course may not be dropped.

Academic Probation
If, at the end of a grading period on academic warning, a student鈥檚 cumulative GPA in courses taken at the University is still below 2.00, but not so low as to warrant academic dismissal, that student will be placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.00 each grading period until good academic standing is reached or he/she will be academically dismissed.

Academic Dismissal
A student will be academically dismissed if at the end of any grading period the student鈥檚 GPA is 0.00 and the cumulative GPA is below 2.00; or at the end of any grading period the student on academic probation fails to make satisfactory academic progress toward good academic standing as defined under Academic Probation.
