Reinstatement Process for Satisfactory Academic Progress Dismissals with No Appeal or Denied Appeals

Students who have been academically dismissed for failing to meet the minimum satisfactory academic progress standards may request reinstatement after a semester on dismissal.  In order to qualify for reinstatement, the student must provide a written explanation to the program Dean/Chair describing the circumstances that led to the dismissal, and what remediation has taken place to prevent the problem from occurring in the future. The program Dean/Chair will consider factors such as grades, attendance, account balance, conduct, and the student’s commitment to complete the degree program within the maximum timeframe allowed in making a decision to reinstate a student. Dismissed students who are reinstated will sign a new enrollment agreement, will be charged tuition consistent with the existing published rate at the time they are reinstated, and will be subject to the current policies in effect at the time of their reinstatement. Students who are reinstated under these circumstances will remain in reinstatement status and be ineligible for Federal Student Financial Aid until the semester after the student meets or exceeds a cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher and a rate of progress that meets or exceeds 66.67%. Students will be returned to regular status and become eligible for federal financial aid programs.
