Academic Reinstatement
Students seeking reinstatement to Stevenson University following suspension or dismissal must complete the Application for Academic Reinstatement form found on the Stevenson University Admissions webpage. An application is considered complete when the form is filled out in its entirety and is accompanied by the set of required documents. Instructions on applying for reinstatement are provided in the notification letter the student receives upon suspension or dismissal. The deadline for student submission of the complete application for reinstatement is June 1 for the fall semester and January 2 for the spring semester. The deadline for student submission of the complete application for reinstatement for students in an SU Online undergraduate program is at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the session.
Applications for academic reinstatement are reviewed by the University’s Academic Review Board. If the merits of the application so warrant, the Board will schedule a reinstatement conference with the student to discuss their academic status. If the application does not warrant an invitation to meet with the Academic Review Board, then the students are so notified and the suspension or dismissal stands.
Following a meeting with the Academic Review Board, one of the following decisions is made:
- The student is reinstated on continued academic probation status and must follow specific requirements outlined in the reinstatement letter provided by the Academic Review Board after the meeting.
- The suspension or dismissal stands.
Upon reinstatement, students must earn a minimum 2.0 semester grade point average on all undergraduate level work attempted at Stevenson University. If students earn a minimum 2.0 semester grade point average in each consecutive semester following reinstatement, then they are permitted to continue at Stevenson until they meet the university’s standard for academic good standing. If students earn less than a 2.0 grade point average in any semester following reinstatement, then they are suspended or may face dismissal. Earning a bachelor’s degree from Stevenson University requires students to earn a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average on all undergraduate level work attempted at Stevenson University.
In cases where a student is seeking reinstatement after an academic misconduct sanction of suspension, the student must complete the Application for Academic Reinstatement form and appear before the Academic Review Board.
