Suspension will be noted on the student's academic record by the Registrar’s Office. If a student has already registered for the next fall or spring semester, their registration will be canceled. Students enrolled in the immediate winter or summer session will not have their enrollment canceled.

Suspended students may not register in either academic year or summer terms, as full- or part- time students, nor as non-matriculated students.

Students who receive financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office regarding their Academic Suspension.

Students who have been academically suspended from the University may apply for Re-enrollment through the University Advising Center after one calendar year following suspension.

Students who have been academically suspended may have the option to submit an Appeal.

The student will be notified of the appeal process. If the student chooses to appeal, they must complete and return the appeal form with supporting documentation.

If a student chooses not to appeal and/ or if an appeal is denied, the student will then be suspended from the University and any registration in future fall and spring terms will be dropped.
