1st Academic Suspension
Understanding Your Suspension
You are not able to attend TXST in the Fall 2025 semester, unless you successfully complete one of the options below.
If you want to return to TXST in the Fall 2025 semester, you have two options:
- Take Summer 2025 classes and raise your cumulative TXST GPA to at least 2.00 by the end of the summer term.
- Submit an academic suspension appeal. Appeals should only be submitted if you have extenuating circumstances that affected your academic performance.
-
How to appeal your suspension
To appeal, you must:
- Submit the online academic suspension appeal form. Be sure to provide justification and documentation for your appeal.
- Schedule an appeal appointment with the College of Science and Engineering Associate Dean by calling 512-245-2119.
- Appointments will be held via Zoom and must take place by August 8, 2025.
Filing an appeal does not guarantee reinstatement.
-
What happens next?
- If your appeal is approved, you may enroll in Fall 2025 courses and your status will be academic warning. If you do not return to good standing after your next long semester (fall or spring), you will be placed on academic probation.
- If your appeal is denied (or you choose not to appeal), you will not be allowed to enroll in courses for Fall 2025. If you have already registered, your classes will be dropped after the appeal deadline.
If you wish to return to TXST after Fall 2025, you will need to reapply as a returning student and meet the readmission requirements, which can be found on the Undergraduate Admissions website.

The official policy
According to Texas State’s policy:
“Students on Academic Probation who fail to reach a cumulative Texas State GPA of at least 2.00 or to earn a semester GPA at Texas State of at least 2.25 are placed on Academic Suspension. Suspended students are prohibited from enrolling at Texas State for a duration of one semester if suspended for the first time.
Students with extenuating circumstances may appeal for reinstatement to the appropriate college dean or institutional official, who may impose conditions regarding course load limits, required academic success programs, additional support services, etc.”
