Hearer Status: Students are required to pay full fees for classes in which they register as “hearer.” None of the work will be graded and the student is not entitled to credit in the course. The student is required to attend class and may receive a “WD” grade if attendance is not to the satisfaction of the instructor of the class. The course credit will be included in all certifications of enrollment. Hearer status must be declared prior to the end of 6-weeks of class.
Maximum Schedule: The normal maximum schedule is 19 credit hours per semester. Additional hours can be taken according to the following schedule:
• 1 extra hour if cumulative GPA is 2.500 or above
• 2 extra hours if cumulative is 2.750 or above
• 3 extra hours if cumulative is 3.150 or above.
Additional hours require the approval of the student’s department chair.
Probation-Scholastic: A student is placed on scholastic probation if his/her current semester or cumulative GPA is less than 2.000. If the cumulative GPA is less than 2.000 and the current semester GPA is above 2.200, the student will not be placed on probation. A student on probation is restricted to 13 credit hours and may not hold office in any organization.
Deficiency-Scholastic: A student is considered to be scholastically deficient if he/she has two or more semesters of scholastic probation. Also, he/she is immediately considered scholastically deficient at the end of any semester in which he/she has one or more "U" or "F" grades and no grade higher than a "D". The student’s records will be referred to his/her academic department for a decision on continued enrollment at Missouri S&T, with the results forwarded to the student by the Office of the Registrar. Students can appeal denied enrollment by the department to the provost. Students that have preregistered and paid fees will be allowed to keep their schedule, with appropriate modifications, if readmitted to the University.
Dropping Course(S): No courses can be dropped in the last three weeks of class or during finals week. No transcript record is made if the course is dropped within the first six weeks; a "WD" is posted on the transcript if dropped after six weeks.
Repeat Course GPA Adjustment: When a grade of “D” or “F” is received in a Missouri S&T course, the grade may be replaced in the calculation of the GPA if the course is repeated at Missouri S&T. No more than 15 semester hours will be dropped from the calculation of the student’s GPA and a repeated course may only be used to replace one previous grade in that same course in the GPA calculation. Grades of “I”, “W”, “HR” or “Pass/Fail” will not replace the previous grade. All grades earned will appear on the student’s transcript. After repeating a course, the student must submit a Repeat Course GPA Adjustment form to the Registrar’s Office to have the GPA changed. The new grade will replace the old grade in all GPA calculations in which the previous grade was used, with the exception of the UM GPA used for the calculation of graduation honors. If a student does not submit the Repeat Course GPA Adjustment, both grades will be used in GPA calculations. The scholastic standing of a student for the past semester will not be changed as a result of repeating a course.
Transfer Credit Policy: Missouri S&T accepts college-level (not remedial) course credits. All grades, quality points and credit hours are transferred and computed in the cumulative GPA. Grades not included in the transfer institution’s GPA due to a repeat or forgiveness policy may be removed from the Missouri S&T cumulative GPA upon verification to the Registrar’s Office. No more than 15 semester transfer hours will be dropped from the calculation of the student’s cumulative GPA. College-level (not remedial) course credit earned while enrolled in high school (dual credit) shall follow the same policy as transfer credit.
