Southern University and A&M College students residing on campus must have earned at least 24 hours of college credit and maintained a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA in order to receive permission to register an automobile on campus.

Student-Athlete Appeals

A student-athlete who wishes to file a formal appeal of a Department of Athletics' decision to cancel or reduce athletically-related financial aid, not to grant permission to contact, or to release a student-athlete under the one-time transfer exception or other transfer residence requirement must appeal to the Athletics Appeal Committee indicating his/her intent to have an appeals hearing.  This committee is facilitated through the Office of the Dean of Students.

Upon initial receipt of a notice of reduction or non-renewal, a student may schedule a meeting with the Director of Athletic Compliance who will verbally describe the appeals process and answers any questions related to it.  Similar to the financial aid appeals process, an aggrieved student with a transfer request may schedule a meeting with the Director of Athletic Compliance to discuss the application of relevant NCAA and SWAC rules to their individual circumstances.  The Office of the Dean of Students will not fulfill such requests.
