PROVISIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM
|
The Provisional Studies Program is a freshman year program which specifically addresses the needs of those students who do not meet regular admission requirements of the University. Students must have a minimum academic index of 450 and minimum ACT composite score of 14 for regular admission. [Academic Index = (high school GPA X 100) + (ACT Score X 10)]. Any student with an ACT composite score below 18 is also admitted provisionally, and will be placed in the Provisional Studies Program
|
Provisionally admitted students will be notified that they have been identified as Provisional Studies students and that their academic activities will be specified and monitored by the Provisional Studies Program staff. Participants will be assessed and will be provided a plan of remediation designed to increase competency in identified areas of weakness.
|
Credits earned from developmental courses do not count toward program or general education requirements, and they do not count toward the minimum hours required for graduation. However, developmental courses do carry credit which is counted in the semester workload, and the grades earned for developmental courses are computed in the student's grade point average.

|
To successfully exit the Provisional Studies Program and enroll in a degree program at the University, a student must:
|
Obtain a grade of "C" or higher in all required developmental courses. Pass MSU 101: Discovering University Life with a Grade of "C" or higher. Successfully complete two semesters with a cumulative grade point average (G.P.A.) considered to be satisfactory progress by the University. Generally, satisfactory progress is a G.P.A. of 1.6 for the first semester and 1.7 at the end of the freshman year. Successfully complete a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours that satisfy the general education requirements. Successfully complete a minimum of 24 total credit hours or more and not be on academic probation. Attend a minimum of three (3) hours of study tables per week. Make frequent appointments with his or her Provisional Studies Program advisor. Students should meet with their advisor every two or three weeks.
