After a period of one year (12 consecutive calendar months) undergraduate and graduate students may be eligible for readmission to Walsh. Readmission is permitted only when the student’s cumulative GPA calculation shows the possibility of achieving satisfactory academic standing in three consecutive semesters. An academic advisor will establish the minimum grade per course required to achieve satisfactory academic standing within the three-semester time limit. Any previous coursework will be reviewed for applicability under the new academic program at the time of readmission.
All courses previously taken, credit hours, grades received, and academic standing notations remain on the student’s transcript. A student must meet with their academic advisor to determine eligibility for readmission. If readmitted, the student will be placed on the academic program in effect at the time of readmission. In any given semester, failure to achieve the minimum required grade will result in recalculation of minimum grade requirements. A second dismissal may result if the student is unable to achieve satisfactory academic standing within the remaining semester requirement. In some circumstances, readmitted students may be permitted to take more than one course per semester, if the student can provide sufficient rationale. If approved, the minimum grade per course and course load will be established in conjunction with their academic advisor based on the grades required to achieve satisfactory academic standing. Satisfactory academic standing must be achieved within the established number of credit hours or semesters, whichever comes first.
A second academic dismissal from Walsh is final; students will not be eligible for readmission. A student who has been academically dismissed will be contacted by the Executive Director, Admissions an Enrollment Services and administratively dropped from all course(s) and will be issued a full refund including tuition and fees.
After a period of one year (12 consecutive calendar months), a student who has been academically dismissed may be eligible for readmission to the doctoral program. Doctoral students must contact the Doctoral Program Director to request a review and approval for readmission.
In addition to Walsh’s academic standing policy, the Financial Aid office is required to maintain its own satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy. Students receiving federal financial aid should refer to the section entitled Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients in this handbook.
