Policy of the Month:
Probation
Probation
Please note this information applies to students who have been
admitted to McCoy College. Non-business majors should refer to the college of
their declared major for probation information.
McCoy
College students whose Texas State GPA falls below 2.0 are placed on academic probation by Texas State and are also placed on
restricted status by McCoy College. The catalog states that Academic
probation is “an emphatic warning that the quality of the student’s work has
not met Texas State’s minimum academic standards and that the quality must
improve during the probationary semester in order for the student to continue
at Texas State.” Students must
familiarize themselves with the Texas State and McCoy College policy as they must
comply with those requirements in order to remain at the University and in
McCoy College.
McCoy
College Policy
Students placed on restricted status with McCoy College
must increase their Texas State GPA to at least 2.0 in the subsequent semester or their admission to McCoy College
will be voided. A student whose
admission is voided may regain admission to the College by going through the
application process and competing with other applicants for openings. Business Students with a Texas State GPA
below a 2.0 are also subject to the University academic probation and
suspension policies.
Texas
State Policy
Students placed on academic probation are given two probationary semesters
(fall and spring) to raise their Texas State GPA to a 2.0. If the Texas State
GPA is still less than 2.00 at the end of the second probationary semester, the
student will be placed on first academic suspension. Both the academic
probation and suspension policies can be found in the 2014-2016 Undergraduate
Catalog on page 34.
Please take note of the following conditions
affecting business students’ course schedules on probation
and restricted status:
- Students with an overall GPA of less than 2.0 are not eligible to enroll in “new” (not previously taken) upper-division (3000-4000) business courses.
- With permission, a student with an overall GPA of less than 2.0 may repeat no more than six hours of upper-division (3000-4000) business courses.
- Students not yet admitted to the McCoy College of Business are not eligible to repeat upper-division business courses until they regain admission to McCoy College
