Dismissal Students may be dismissed from their school or program if they fail to meet academic or professional standards. The student will be informed of the dismissal in writing by the school s dean or the dean s campus representative. Dismissed students are required to sit out for at least one semester following their first dismissal, and at least one full year following their second dismissal in most schools. See individual programs for more information about dismissal and readmission. Students already enrolled in and even attending classes will be administratively dropped from those classes and their money returned if they are dismissed.
Some schools also require students dismissed from other institutions to petition for admission.
Each petition is considered individually, and a decision is made based on the student s academic history and personal circumstances. Students must explain why they were dismissed and how they expect to deal with potential problems. A Petition for Readmission form may be obtained in school offices or the Office of the Registrar. Schools will notify students of their readmission status. Students who have been dismissed but can show compelling evidence that they have corrected the problem may be allowed to return to school without delay.
