2) The Academic Appeals Board will re-evaluate the
student’s achievement of the instructional
objectives of the course and assign a grade
accordingly.
The Academic Appeals Board decision is the final
decision of the University. Within 20 working days of
reaching the decision, the Academic Appeals Board
will provide written summaries of the hearing and
decision, together with a rationale for that decision, to
the student, the instructor(s) who assigned the grade,
and the academic department of the instructor(s).
Should the appeal result in a grade change, the Chair
of the Academic Appeals Board will submit a grade
change form to the Records Office.
DEANS’ LIST
All undergraduate students, including those enrolled in
continuing education classes and those enrolled in a
second baccalaureate degree program, are eligible for
the Deans’ List in a given semester provided they:
• Achieve a minimum semester grade-point average
of 3.500
• Be degree-seeking
• Earn at least 12 credit hours at Colorado State
University-Pueblo, and
• Receive no grade of “incomplete”
The Deans’ List is generated and published fall and
spring semesters.
GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
The academic standing of all students is reviewed two
times each year, at the end of fall, and spring
semester. Students must have a cumulative grade
point average of 2.000 or higher to remain in Good
Academic Standing.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students are placed on academic probation at the end
of any semester (excluding summer) beyond their
completion of the second semester of their freshman
year in which their cumulative grade-point average
falls below 2.000.
Academic Probation status is noted on the transcript.
In addition, students receive a letter (Notification of
Academic Probation Status) from the Student
Academic Services Office. At this point, students are
strongly encouraged to develop an Academic
Improvement Plan (AIP) in collaboration with staff
from the CSU-Pueblo Student Academic Services
Office.
Students on Academic Probation will have two terms
(excluding summer) to raise their grade-point average
to a 2.000.
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
Students who fail to clear Academic Probation after
two regular terms (excluding summer) will be placed
on Academic Suspension.
Students placed on Academic Suspension cannot reenroll
at the University for a period of two consecutive
semesters (excluding summer) EXCEPT BY SPECIAL
PERMISSION.
Students placed on Academic Suspension who
successfully appeal their suspension can return to the
University on a Conditional Reinstatement.
Students on Conditional Reinstatement status will
remain under the guidelines of the catalog in effect at
the time of their regular admission.
Students on Academic Suspension who stay away
from the University more than two consecutive
semesters (excluding summer) following their notice of
formal academic suspension must (a) be readmitted to
the University, and (b) adhere to the requirements of
the catalog in effect at the time they are readmitted to
the University. Please see the Catalog Requirement
section for more information.
Appeal Process for Academic Suspension
Students who want to appeal their Academic
Suspension are responsible for initiating the process
by submitting an Appeal Letter. The Appeal Letter
must address two issues: (1) why the Academic
Suspension is being appealed, and (2) what the
student will do to make an improvement in academic
performance.
The deadlines for Appeal Letters requesting
Conditional Reinstatement are:
• Subsequent fall semester—the 2nd Monday in
June
• Subsequent spring semester—the 1st Wednesday
of January
