Academic Reinstatement Process
Generally, students on academic suspension cannot enroll in classes for one year (3 semesters, including summer), and then they apply to return through reinstatement processes. Students with documentable extenuating circumstances or a completed University Advising Student Success Plan can apply sooner than one year away via early reinstatement processes.
