A student who is suspended from the University has two options: to serve the suspension or to appeal the suspension to the Academic Review Committee. A student who has been suspended from the university for the first time (First Suspension) will be required to sit out for two consecutive academic semesters. Summer I and Summer II count as a single academic semester. After serving the suspension the student must re-apply to the University using the EZ form: Reinstatement after First Suspension.
After applying for readmission the student must make an appointment with the Associate Dean of the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities for reinstatement. A student may also appeal their suspension to the Academic Review Committee. The Suspension Appeal Form can be found on the Registrar’s web site: Undergraduate Probation/Suspension Information. A student who is reinstated either after serving the suspension or after a successful appeal will continue to be on academic probation until their cumulative GPA is 2.00 or above. Once a student’s cumulative GPA is 2.00 or above, the student will be returned to regular academic status.
