Scholastic Probation and Enforced Withdrawal
Scholastic Probation
Students will be placed on scholastic probation any time their cumulative institution grade point average at Texas A&M University-Kingsville falls below 2.0, summer not included. Such students are required to participate to the fullest in the Javelina Reset program and to seek professional academic advising. Students who are on scholastic probation for a semester will be removed from such probation at the conclusion of that semester or summer term if they earn a minimum 2.0 cumulative institutional grade point average.
Enforced Withdrawal
Students who have been placed on scholastic probation for a semester, and who fail to achieve the minimum 2.0 cumulative institutional grade point average at the end of that semester, will be placed on enforced withdrawal for the following semester (summer not included).
Length of absence period
1st and 2nd Suspension- students who have been placed on enforced withdrawal may return after an absence of one semester.
3rd Suspension- students placed on enforced withdrawal for a third time may return only after an absence of two consecutive semesters (summer not included).
Readmission following Enforced Withdrawal for Undergraduates
Students placed on enforced withdrawal may request that the required absence period be shortened or waived. To be readmitted before the completion of the required length of suspension, students must obtain approval. A scoring rubric will be used in consideration of the student's request.
Readmission request applications are available online on the Center for Student Success website every semester until 15 days before the start of the term. A Readmission request application requires a student to upload a personal statement addressing the following:
- The challenges or circumstances that affected academic success (academic, personal, or both)
- The steps already taken to improve academic performance
- A clear plan for how your GPA will continue to improve moving forward
Readmission requests are reviewed by the Javelina Reset team using a scoring rubric. Based on this review, a request is either approved or routed for additional consideration to the Department Chair and Dean. The Vice President for Student Success has the final consideration on all readmission requests. Students approved for readmission after enforced withdrawal are required to participate in the Javelina Reset Program.
Students who are registered for classes and on enforced withdrawal, but have not been approved for readmission, will be dropped from their courses before the first day of class. Students must submit a readmission request each semester until they reach a 2.0 institutional GPA and are placed in good academic standing.
