- Advising students about their academic standing, next steps for registration eligibility, and resources to help them improve their overall GPA.
- Providing helpful trainings to faculty and staff about the MSU Denver Academic Standing Policy and academic intervention.
Academic Standing & Financial Aid Status are Different...
Watch out for the Differences Between Academic Standing & Financial Aid Status
Please keep in mind that the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships also uses similar terms for their federally mandated financial aid status, specifically Financial Aid Suspension or SAP status (click on the ‘Satisfactory Academic Progress’ link at the top the webpage for more information).
Below you will find links to the Academic Notice, Academic Recovery, and Academic Suspension standing webpages along with a Quick Guide to MSU Denver’s Academic Standing Policy.
