Dear Missouri Baptist University Students, I pray your weekend was good as we remembered the death of Jesus Christ for sin and celebrated his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. We remain grateful for how MBU students have risen to the challenges COVID-19 has created. Anxiety levels are higher right now too, as you consider how COVID-19 is affecting your performance in Spring 2020 courses and possible consequences for next year. The following changes have been made in academic policy for the Spring 2020 term in the hope that this will alleviate some of the concerns you may have.
The deadline for Withdrawal from a course without a GPA penalty has been extended to Friday, April 24th.
There will be no loss or reduction of your MBU scholarship in Fall 2020 based on any decrease in your Spring 2020 GPA. New students for Spring 2020 are exempt from review.
No student at risk of Academic Suspension for the 2020-2021 school year will be placed on Academic Suspension due to GPA concerns for the Spring 2020 semester. Students who would have been placed on academic suspension will be given an additional term of probation to meet the 2.0 GPA requirement. The Academic Probation policy will remain as written in University catalogs.
