POLICY TITLE
Undergraduate Reinstatement Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
Undergraduate students who have been academically dismissed from Life University as a result of the Academic Standing Policy (AS.038) and the Dismissal Appeal Process may apply for re- entry into an undergraduate program after two academic quarters or one academic semester and pending satisfactory completion of a minimum of 12 semester credits/18 quarter credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher from an accredited institution of higher education. Re- admission is subject to review and approval by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee and the Dean to whom the program reports.
A student who is reinstated is automatically placed on academic probation until a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is achieved. Academic requirements will be determined by the Catalog in force at the time the student re-enrolls at the University. For further information concerning reinstatement, students should consult with the Office of Admissions.
Should a student be academically dismissed a second time, they will not be reinstated to any undergraduate program within the University.
Please add: All policy and regulations that relate to financial aid eligibility are separate and distinct from CGUS. Reentry does not entail, or entitle, the student to additional considerations regarding financial aid.
Students who are reaccepted with academic amnesty should be aware that while previous grades are not used to calculate the new grade point average, they will be used to evaluate SAP for financial aid purposes in accordance with Federal Financial Aid Regulations.
All questions and concerns related to financial aid should be discussed with a financial aid counselor.
PROCEDURE(S)
Reinstatement is not automatic upon request. The student must submit the following:
Admissions Application – A student who is petitioning for reinstatement must reapply for admission and pay the non- refundable application fee.
Student Statement – (typed not handwritten) briefly explaining specific academic strategies the student will take to raise their GPA above required minimums. The student should reflect on the causes that led to academic difficulties and be sure to link the plan for academic improvement to concrete strategies and to a specific academic plan.
Academic Plan – (developed with academic advisor input) showing their quarterly course plan. The student must consult with their Academic Advisor before deviating from this Academic Plan. Students who deviate from the Academic Plan submitted during the reinstatement process will not be considered for reinstatement if they are dropped for low scholarship again in a subsequent quarter.
Unofficial Life University transcripts and copy of transcripts from any coursework taken elsewhere since the student was dismissed from Life University.
The reinstatement packet will be kept on file for 6 years after the student’s graduation date.
