Depending on the original reason for the probationary status, probation may be removed as follows:

• The student may enroll in no more than 16 semester credit hours for the semester following their being placed on probation and must improve their cumulative GPA to meet the standard appropriate to the student’s total semester credit hours earned. (A student on probation should consult with their advisor to formulate the best strategy for removing probation.)

• The student must earn no fewer than 75 percent of the semester credit hours for which they enrolled for two consecutive semesters.

A student who has been dismissed for academic reasons may submit a petition for reinstatement to the Office of the Registrar for submission to the Academic Dean.  A petition for reinstatement should include the following:

• A critical and thorough appraisal of the factors that were decisive in the student’s academic performance;

• A presentation of evidence that the student is capable of successful college-level academic performance; and

• A detailed plan indicating how the student intends to pursue his/her academic career in such a way as to avoid the situation that caused the original dismissal.

Failure to remove probation in the time allotted may result in academic suspension from the University.
