Reinstatement Request

As a general practice, a student who wishes to request reinstatement after suspension, must complete the “Request for Reinstatement” form and submit it to the Graduate School. The form will be routed to the appropriate graduate program personnel for review. The program will then forward their recommendation to the Dean of The Graduate School. The Dean of The Graduate School will then notify the appropriate graduate program director, the Office of the Registrar, and the student of the Graduate Dean’s decision.


A graduate student who is granted a reinstatement must agree to a remediation plan developed by the graduate program. Any deviation from the remediation plan will result in permanent dismissal. Reinstatement is not automatic or guaranteed.

Individual graduate programs may have additional expectations and/or grading policies. Please see specific graduate program sections of the catalog for additional information on graduate expectations.

 

Reinstatement Process

Reinstatement requests are made to the Dean of the Graduate School. Once the form is submitted, the information will be routed to the appropriate program for consideration and feedback.


Academic Standing Status:

Students who were suspended, must remain out one academic semester before being eligible to return. For example, if a student was suspended as a result of academic standing at the conclusion of Fall 2023, the student is eligible to return Summer 2024. Spring 2024 would serve as the suspended semester.


Students who were dismissed, must remain out three academic semesters before being eligible to return. For example, if a student was dismissed as a result of academic standing at the conclusion of Fall 2023, the student is eligible to return Spring 2025. Spring 2024, Summer 2024, and Fall 2024 would serve as the suspended semesters.
