Petition for Reinstatement
A student who has been dismissed academically may petition for reinstatement after one semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer) has elapsed from the date of dismissal. Under exceptional circumstances, a petition may be considered earlier.
Once The Graduate School receives your petition for reinstatement, it is submitted to the Department’s Graduate Program Committee. The Graduate Program Committee will review the petitioner’s letter and academic record and make a recommendation concerning reinstatement to the Dean of The Graduate School. If the Petition for Reinstatement is disapproved, the student may not file another petition until the following semester.
Deadlines
Students are required to complete a reinstatement packet along with a letter containing all explanations, recommendations, or doctors’ statements in support of the student’s request for reinstatement and submit them to the Vice Provost & Dean of The Graduate School on or before the following deadlines:
- June 15 for Fall Semesters
