Reinstatement
ACP students who do not pay the full tuition amount risk having the entire semester of credit canceled. Semesters dropped for non-payment can be reinstated upon receipt of the full tuition amount. To initiate the reinstatement process, contact the ACP office at acp@umsl.edu. An ACP staff member will examine your student account, confirm the balance owed, and provide the next steps.
Students must pay the full tuition for the entire semester in order to reinstate credit. Past the official drop deadlines, students can not pick and choose which courses within a given semester they would like to reinstate. To reinstate, the student must reinstate all courses taken within a semester.
