Reinstatement to Master’s Degree
After the mandatory period of Academic Suspension, a student on Academic Suspension must apply for reinstatement to the appropriate program, either to a degree program or to non-degree status, in order to continue graduate study.
The student on Academic Suspension is not guaranteed the opportunity to return to the University. The student on Academic Suspension must apply, in writing, for reinstatement to the University and program after the one term absence. Reinstatement criteria are established by the University or School that houses the student's graduate program.
If a student's request for reinstatement is approved by the program that placed the student on Academic Suspension, the student returns to the University on Academic Probation. One of three possible actions will be implemented for a Reinstated student on Academic Probation at the end of each term of enrollment:
- A Reinstated student who earns a term GPA of 3.0 or higher and raises his or her program GPA to 3.0 or higher will return to Good Academic Standing.
- A Reinstated student who earns a term GPA is 3.0 or higher, but whose program GPA remains below 3.0, will remain on Academic Probation.
- A Reinstated student who earns a term GPA below 3.0 while on Academic Probation, regardless of the program GPA, will be academically suspended from the University.
If a student seeks admission to and is reinstated by a program other than the program from which the student was suspended, the student returns to the University on Academic Probation. One of two possible actions will be implemented at the end of the next term of enrollment:
- A reinstated student who earns a GPA of 3.0 or higher is removed from Academic Probation and returns to Good Academic Standing.
- A reinstated student who earns a GPA below 3.0 will be academically suspended from the University.
