Academic Reinstatement for Tri-Cities Campus Students
Undergraduate students are in good academic standing if both their current WSU semester and cumulative grade point averages are 2.00 or above. Students not meeting this criteria are considered academically deficient. Academically deficient students must apply to continue enrollment at WSU. Many different situations can contribute to academic deficiency and depending on which “academic deficiency rule” there are steps available to assist you with the process of applying for continued enrollment or reinstatement to WSU Tri-Cities.
If you are unsure which Rule you are deficient under, please read the explanations about Rules 38 and 39:
An undergraduate (undeclared or certified major) who at the end of any one semester has failed to maintain a 2.00 semester and/or cumulative grade point average is considered academically deficient. The student must complete an application and an interview through the Center for Advising and Career Development, on the Pullman campus, WSU Online, or designated office on other campuses. Reinstatement will be considered based on the application and interview. A certified major who has been interviewed and reinstated may be decertified by the department.
Reinstatement on the Tri-Cities campus is completed through the UALC Office of Reinstatement.
An undergraduate student who, at the end of any two semesters at WSU, has failed to maintain a 2.00 semester or cumulative grade point average will be dismissed from the university.
Please Note:
Students who were academically deficient under Rule 39 must remain out of WSU for one academic year (Rule 40). If you have unusual or extenuating circumstances and wish to apply for reinstatement after only one semester away, you must include documentation which supports an early admission.
Rule 40.
Students who are dismissed from the University are required to remain out of WSU for at least one academic year. All students seeking reinstatement must provide, as part of the application for readmission, documentation that demonstrates improved academic performance at the college level and/or a readiness for academic success at WSU. All academic coursework during the time away from WSU is required to be documented and transcripts submitted. Dismissed students who apply for reinstatement after one semester will be granted reinstatement only when unusual extenuating circumstances are present. In all cases, written documentation to support the application is required.
