Academic Reinstatement - Undergraduate and Graduate
Undergraduate Reinstatement
When an SUO undergraduate student is dismissed for academic reasons, the student has the opportunity to appeal for reinstatement.
- The student should submit a letter via email to the Dean of Stevenson University Online requesting reinstatement no later than three weeks prior to the start of the term in which the student seeks to enroll.
- In the letter the student should address the reasons for their prior performance and provide information as to how the student plans to make the changes necessary to succeed.
- Once the letter has been received, the Dean will schedule a meeting with the program coordinator to discuss the request. The Dean also has the option of having an in-person or phone meeting with the student.
- If the student is reinstated, the student is placed on continued probation and must follow the specific requirements outlined in the reinstatement letter provided by the Dean. If the student does not fulfill the requirements of the reinstatement letter, the student will be suspended.
Graduate Reinstatement
In order to be considered for reinstatement, the following conditions must be met by the student:
- Submit a completed Application for Reinstatement
- Submit official college transcripts from each college or university attended since leaving Stevenson University
- Submit a written statement explaining circumstances leading to the student’s poor academic standing and how those conditions have changed or will change upon reinstatement
- Provide any additional pertinent information that may be helpful in considering your request for reinstatement, such as medical documents, letters of reference, and/or recommendation(s).
Upon reinstatement, the student will be eligible to register for program courses only after successful completion of GPS 500: Thinking, Researching, and Writing for Success, a fee-based skill building course for graduate students.
