September Policy of the Month: 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
