Reinstatement

Academic suspension may occur at the end of the fall, spring, or summer term. You may not return to the university for at least one full term (fall, spring, or summer) after the suspension.

File a reinstatement appeal

Reinstatement appeals are due by the deadline for the term you wish to return. Read more about appeal deadlines and processes.

Late appeals

Late appeals are not reviewed for any reason. The deadline is already determined by the last possible date that an appeal can be processed and sent to committee members for review before the committee meeting. All coursework must be completed prior to the start date of the term of reinstatement.

Undergraduate Academic Continuation Committee (UACC) approval

In order to return to the university, the UACC must approve your appeal. If you miss a deadline or fail to secure a successful reinstatement, you may be out for more than one term.

Reinstatement is never automatic and requires a majority vote from the UACC.

You have the strongest possibility of reinstatement if you can present documented proof of your commitment to academics that justifies the committee’s approval to remove your suspension. The committee will consider the following:

• 12 most recent units of documented academic coursework at another college, university, or higher learning institution with at least a 2.5 grade point average
• 12 units of documented academic coursework in progress at another college or university that will be completed before reinstatement and, when completed, shows at least a 2.5 grade point average
• a documented explanation of extenuating circumstances that resulted in your past poor academic performance and evidence that those circumstances have been resolved
• if you meet academic renewal guidelines

Notification of UACC decisions

All notifications regarding UACC decisions are communicated by the committee chair.

If your appeal is approved, the following will apply:

• • meeting with an academic advisor
  • meeting with other relevant university personnel
  • providing requested documentation

you must satisfy each condition of the UACC as identified in your reinstatement letter including, but not limited to:

• you will return to the university with an academic standing of probation and the restrictions that accompany academic probation
• if your appeal is denied, your letter will include suggestions to better prepare for the next reinstatement appeal cycle

If your appeal is received late, you will be contacted and prompted to notify the chair of the UACC if you want your late appeal to be moved forward to the next reinstatement appeal cycle.
