Students who are returning after completing a suspension will reenter the University on academic probation.
Before returning, you must meet with an academic advisor to create an Academic Success Plan. We recommend doing this mid-way through your suspension.
You will remain on academic probation until you are in good standing. In many cases this takes more than one semester. If you achieve at least a 2.3 GPA for the term and a term credit completion rate (CCR) of 100 percent (grades A, B, C, D, not F, W, or I), you may remain on probation. If good standing or continued probation is not achieved, you will be suspended again.
