Reinstatement

There are two types of petitions for reinstatement: “Reinstatement after Disqualification” (only for students who have not been enrolled for two or more semesters) and “Readmission after Dismissal”. The petitioning process for both disqualified and dismissed students requires the submission of a written statement addressing the following:

1. problems that lead to disqualification/dismissal;
2. describe specific changes made to resolve these problems;
3. reason for choosing intended major.
