Bachelor's and Master's Level Readmission after Academic Dismissal
After a period of one year (12 consecutive calendar months) bachelor's and master's level students may be eligible for readmission to Walsh College. Refer to the Readmission to Walsh College of this academic catalog for additional information.
Readmission after academic dismissal 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. 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 College is final; students will not be eligible for readmission. A student who has been academically dismissed will be contacted by the director of advising and administratively dropped from all courses and will be issued a full refund including tuition and fees.
Doctoral Readmission after Dismissal
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 College’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 academic catalog.
