Academic Recovery Information

Roadmap to Good Academic Standing

Tennessee State University is dedicated to helping each student meet their academic goals. The Academic Recovery Program is designed for all students on academic probation and those who have been readmitted after suspension. Our goal is to assist students in returning to good academic standing.

Academic Suspension Information

Students placed on Suspension after Fall 2025

If you were placed on academic suspension after Spring 2025 and sat out, you can apply for readmission through the Admissions Office for Spring 2026 enrollment.

Please be aware that Financial Aid appeals are separate from academic suspension appeals and readmission. Readmission to the university does not guarantee the restoration of Financial Aid.
