Academic Suspension

University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire

Back to Academic Difficulty   

Suspension

You will be suspended from the University if one or both of the following occur:

(1) You have failed to reach good academic standing by the end of a probation semester.

(2) You receive a semester GPA of less than 1.0 at the end of any semester.

The first suspension will be for one semester. Any subsequent suspension will be for one year.

Appeal Process

You may appeal your suspension if you feel that there were circumstances beyond your control that kept you from reaching good standing.  Instructions on how to appeal will be mailed to you at your permanent address (as listed on the Blugold System) one week following the end of the final examination period.  You should receive them within a few days after they are mailed.

If you plan to appeal, watch deadlines carefully.  Contact the appropriate office for answers to any questions about the appeal process.

If You Reside in a Residence Hall

If you are a residence hall student and choose not to appeal your suspension, you must contact Housing and Residence Life immediately (715-836-3674) to make arrangements to remove your belongings from your room. In the event that you choose to appeal your suspension and it is granted, you don't need to do anything further regarding your on-campus housing. If your appeal is denied, you must also contact Housing and Residence Life immediately to make arrangements to remove your belongings from your room.

Readmission following Suspension

If you want to return to UW-Eau Claire after the suspension period has passed, you must reapply through the Admissions office.  Readmission is not guaranteed.  Readmission is decided on a case-by-case basis after a thorough evaluation of your academic record and potential for success in earning a degree at UW-Eau Claire.

Although suspended students may not attend classes during Spring or Fall semesters, a suspended student may attend as a "special student" during the Winterim or Summer.  Special students are not eligible for financial aid.
