An entry of this action is made on the student's permanent record. The University has very generous provisions for a student to drop courses during a semester, or to withdraw from school without serious academic penalties. However, there are times when repeated withdrawals or dropping of courses may raise questions as to the serious intent of the students, and they may be suspended. A student who has been suspended may be readmitted only after applying for readmission in writing and receiving favorable action on the application from the Committee on Admission and Retention. Applications for readmission may be secured from and filed with the secretary of the committee in the Office of the Registrar.
Academic suspension is for a minimum period of one academic year.
Only the most extenuating circumstances would warrant consideration for readmission before one academic year has elapsed. Upon readmission students must earn a minimum of a 2.00 grade point average each term they are enrolled until their cumulative grade point average is 2.00 or higher. Failure to earn a 2.00 or higher grade point average in any semester following readmission will cause the student to be suspended again. Academic suspension for a second time is considered permanent. Only the most extenuating circumstances would warrant consideration for readmission a second time.
