Important Dates and Deadlines

Immediate Reinstatement Petition Deadline:

 In general, the deadline to submit a petition to request immediate reinstatement is shortly after grades are posted. If you are suspended at the end of a fall semester and eligible for immediate reinstatement, your petition is due in early January to continue taking spring courses. If you are suspended at the end of a spring semester and eligible for immediate reinstatement, your petition is due in early June to continue taking fall courses.  

Reinstatement from Suspension in a Prior Term Petition Deadline: 

Students requesting reinstatement from suspension in a prior term have one deadline each year and are only permitted to resume taking courses in a fall semester if their petition is approved. This petition deadline is typically in early March, and any suspended student is eligible to request reinstatement during this cycle, whether or not they submitted a prior request for reinstatement. 

Petition Form Access:

The petition form is available during the three reinstatement cycles each academic year. In January and June for students who are eligible for immediate reinstatement, and in January - March for students who are eligible for fall reinstatement after suspension in a prior term.
