earn at least a C average (2.0) on all hours pursued.
Students on Provisional Academic Probation will not
be allowed to enroll at ULM for subsequent enrollment
periods, nor will an official ULM transcript be released,
until all official transcripts or other required missing

Students from any other institution of higher learning
will not be permitted to enroll while under suspension
unless appeals criteria are met. Previous academic
suspensions will be counted.
Transfer students under academic suspension for
indefinite periods of time (length not specified) will not be
considered for admission until such intervals of time would
have elapsed had the suspension been incurred at ULM.
Evaluations concerning probation, suspension,
grades, grade point average, and hours pursued
and earned are based on prevailing ULM standards,
regardless of previous determinations at other institutions
the student has attended.
