What are my options for academic suspension?
Consider Your Best Decision
Academic suspension is not a punitive act. It is a proactive action to provide you time to consider the role investing in a college education plays in supporting your career goals.
Some individuals determine they need time to organize personal resources necessary to support their success in an academic environment.
Consider these things before selecting the option offered to you by the Provost Office.
- What is your purpose for seeking a degree, certification, or a particular area of expertise?
- Who are the current experts and academic peers at MSU with the expertise and interest you need to reach your career goals?
- When is the best time to dedicate time, money, and energy to an academic experience? Do you have these resources in place to support your success at MSU?
- Where are the programs with the current experts who can hone and refine your talent? These are the people who provide the knowledge, skill, and expertise you need to reach your objective. Are these current experts at MSU or Gallatin College?
- Why is an academic degree important to you?
- How is this a compelling reason for you to dedicate time, money, and energy to an academic experience?
- Who is informing this decision? Are you making the decision to engage in an academic experience? Are you directing the engagement with current experts and peers with similar goals? When things are hard, who is directing the motivation to engage with people and resources to support your success? It must come from you.
