Reinstatement
A student who was previously academically dismissed may apply for reinstatement of their status to the University by submitting a written appeal. The Appeals Board will consider the student's appeal to determine if reinstatement to the University is warranted. The appeal should be in the form of a letter explaining the reasons why the student should be reinstated. The decision regarding reinstatement will be based upon factors such as grades, attendance, student account balance, conduct, and the student's commitment to complete the program. If the appeal is successfully approved, the University will allow a student a maximum of four approved reinstatements within a specific degree level (i.e., undergraduate, graduate, or doctorate). Dismissed students who are readmitted will sign a new Enrollment Agreement and will be charged tuition consistent with the existing published tuition rate. Financial aid may be available to those readmitted who qualify.
A student who fails to return to good standing and exceeds the number of allowable reinstatements is no longer eligible to appeal. In an extreme circumstance, permission from the Provost or his/her designee is required for additional appeal consideration.
