(click to expand definition)(click to collapse definition)
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.

Rule 39
Undergraduate students are dismissed from the university after the third semester (excluding summer session) in which the cumulative grade point average is below 2.0. Individuals who are dismissed from the university may not enroll in courses at WSU, including online and courses on any WSU campus, for two full academic semesters. Dismissed individuals will also not be able to seek status as a “non-degree seeking student.”
Rule 40.
Former students may seek reinstatement after two semesters by completing the academic reinstatement petition process. Former students petitioning for academic reinstatement must, as part of the reinstatement petition process, provide documentation that demonstrates potential for academic success at WSU. If seeking reinstatement after more than two semesters, former students must also apply for readmission to the university through the Office of Admissions. All academic coursework from other institutions completed during dismissed status must be documented and official transcripts submitted to the Office of Admissions.
