Return from Academic Dismissal
Students not in good academic standing (academic probation, suspension, dismissal) when they leave the University must meet readmission requirements. If students not in good academic standing attend another post-secondary institution, they must have an overall and transferable 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale on all courses taken since leaving the University.
Dismissed students must petition the Dean of Undergraduate Studies to return to the University. Formerly dismissed students who successfully petition to return must agree to participate in a program sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies during their first semester upon return. Failure to meet the conditions of this program will result in immediate dismissal from the term. Formerly dismissed students will be notified about the details of this program when their appeal is approved.
*IMPORTANT* Students must also re-apply to Undergraduate Admissions to return.
The student should consult the Students First Office (336.334.5730) for information concerning the appeal process.
