Academic Reinstatement

Washington State University expects students to make satisfactory academic progress toward their degree objectives. Undergraduate students are in good academic standing if both their current WSU semester and cumulative grade point averages are at least 2.00 (Please note that a higher GPA may be required for certification or graduation). Students not meeting these requirements are considered academically deficient and will need to apply for reinstatement for continued enrollment.

Who needs to apply for Reinstatement?
  • Current students whose semester or cumulative GPA is below 2.0 for the first time.
  • Academically Deficient students returning who were academically deficient, dismissed or recessed before leaving WSU.
  • Reinstatement Application

The goal of the reinstatement process is to provide support and resources for WSU students to help them achieve future academic success. Through the reinstatement process, students will create a well-thought-out plan with academic goals and take the necessary steps to achieve them. Applying for reinstatement is mandatory to enroll for Fall or Spring semester. Reinstatement is NOT required for Summer enrollment.
