Missouri Baptist University 2025-2026 Catalog
Graduate Academic Probation and Suspension
|
|
|
(Students who are admitted on Probationary status are subject to the following policy only after their initial semester of enrollment.)
Any student whose cumulative graduate grade point average falls below the required GPA will be placed on probation by the Vice President for Graduate Affairs for one regular semester. The student is expected to show evidence of reasonable progress in improving academic performance during the probationary period in order to continue in the program. Master, Specialist, and Doctoral students must maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout their coursework.
If the grade point has not been raised by the end of the probationary period, the student will be academically dismissed. The student may then petition the Vice President for Graduate Affairs in writing for permission to re-enroll. The petition must explain the causes for academic deficiency and outline a program of action to overcome them. The Graduate Affairs Committee considers the petition and approves or denies any such petition. The appeal process must take place before a student is permitted to re-enroll for graduate classes at Missouri Baptist University. A student dismissed for a second time will not be eligible for re-admission.
In order for students to continue to receive federally-funded financial aid, they must maintain satisfactory progress in the course of studies pursued at Missouri Baptist University. Students who have been placed on academic suspension must demonstrate that it is reasonable to expect that they will be able to graduate (achieve the appropriate cumulative grade point average for the degree being sought) within one and one-half times the published length of their program.
