Restatement Process

Students with No Appeal or Denied Appeals

A student who has been academically dismissed for not making satisfactory academic progress (failing to meet the minimum CGPA or rate of progress requirements) may request reinstatement after a semester/trimester on dismissal by submitting a request to Director of Student Affairs.  The request will be reviewed by the SAP Appeals Committee. In order to qualify for reinstatement, the student must provide documentation that the issues that led to dismissal have been resolved, evidence of remediation, or both to the Director of Student Services. The SAP Appeals Committee will consider factors such as grades, participation, attendance, account balance, conduct, and the student’s commitment to complete the degree program within the maximum timeframe allowed within the University’s policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress 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.  In addition, the student will be placed on an academic action plan which must be met each semester in order to continue in their program.  Students who are reinstated under these circumstances will remain in SAP Probation status and be ineligible to receive Federal and institutional Student Financial Aid until the semester/trimester following the semester/trimester in which the student’s CGPA meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for the program and the student’s rate of progress is at or above the requirement for their program. At this point, the student will be returned to regular status and again become eligible for Federal Financial Aid programs.

Students with Approved Appeals

If the SAP Appeals Committee approves a student’s satisfactory academic and financial progress appeal, the committees will recommend that the student be placed on SAP Probation for one semester/trimester, during which time the student will remain eligible to receive Federal Student Aid. If the student needs more than one semester/trimester to return to good SAP standing, the student will be placed on an academic action plan to continue their program pursuit; however, financial aid eligibility will be suspended after the first semester/trimester of probation if SAP is not met at that time.
