Returning from Academic Dismissal

Students who have been academically dismissed may apply for readmission after two semesters (summer counts as one semester) by providing the appropriate committee with a written letter of petition. The filing deadline for petitioning is August 1 for fall re-admission and December 1 for spring re-admission. Please address the letter to: "The Academic Standing Committee.”

This letter should contain three main sections:

Address the difficulties you had while you were enrolled at Suffolk University.
Describe what steps you have taken while away from Suffolk University to improve your personal situation (such as academic performance, personal issues, medical conditions, financial hardship). Be sure to attach any supporting documentation (such as transcripts from other institutions, letters from a doctor or current faculty member).
Create an action plan for your return (if reinstated) and describe what you would do to succeed in the future.

Letters should include your personal contact information for mail, email and phone.
