Academic standing is used to refer to the academic status assigned to students after the completion of a Fall or Spring semester. Summer and Intersession terms do not factor into academic standing.<\/p>\n

The strongest appeals typically include the following criteria:<\/p>\n If the student discussed with their academic advisor to proceed with the appeal, they must complete the Academic Suspension Appeal Form<\/a>. The Academic Suspension Appeal Form<\/strong> includes prompts that require written responses. You should draft your responses in a separate document, then copy and paste them when you are ready to complete the form. The prompts are as follows:<\/p>\n Although supporting documentation is not required for the appeal, students may also submit the following:<\/p>\n Students suspended after a Fall semester<\/strong> must submit their appeal to return for the Spring Semester by noon on the first Wednesday in January.<\/p>\n Students suspended after a Spring semester<\/strong> must submit their appeal to return for the Fall semester by noon on the second Friday in June.<\/p>\n After the suspension appeal has been submitted to OEA, it will be reviewed by the Academic Review Committee (ARC). The ARC will determine if the suspension appeal will be granted or denied. If the appeal is granted, the student will be allowed to continue on academic probation for the next semester.

Students who have been academically suspended once or twice are eligible to apply for reinstatement. Reinstatement to the University is neither automatic nor guaranteed.<\/p>\n Students who have been academically suspended for a third time are classified as academically dismissed and are ineligible for reinstatement.<\/p>\n A Reinstatement Request Form<\/a> must be submitted by an academically suspended student who would like to be considered for reinstatement. Upon receipt of the reinstatement request, the OEA Academic Review Committee (ARC) will review the reinstatement request and the student will be notified in writing of the outcome of the request.<\/p>\n The Reinstatement Request Form<\/strong> includes the following prompts and supplemental information requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n The academically suspended student will provide a description of:<\/p>\n Minimally, students will submit an academic plan for at least two semesters.

The ARC will determine if the reinstatement request will be granted or denied. If the reinstatement request is granted, the student will be allowed to return on academic probation the next semester. If the reinstatement request is denied, the student will be given suggestions for what to address before submitting a future request.

What will increase my chances of being reinstated?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Carefully consider how to use your time away to increase your chances of reinstatement. There is no single set of rules that must be followed while away because the circumstances that led to suspension vary from student to student. However, there should be a connection between the challenges you faced and the developmental or corrective action you take. Communicate with your academic advisor during your time away if you have questions.<\/p>\n What prevented you from being academically successful? For many students, there is a combination of factors. Be thorough and honest in your assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n This plan should address the issues you have identified in your reflection. Some common practices include interning, working, seeking counseling, volunteering, etc. Your plan should be unique and tailored to address any challenges you identified during reflection.<\/p>\n For most students, taking classes at another institution should be part of the plan. Ideally, there should be a connection between your course and intended academic goal. The intention behind this is to demonstrate the interventions implemented in your plan allowing for success in an academic setting. Grades of \u201cB\u201d or better (not B- or below) are expected in classes completed elsewhere to this.<\/p>\n You have multiple options for coursework during your suspension:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do I do if my request for reinstatement is denied?” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n If the Academic Review Committee (ARC) does not feel that your request for reinstatement is strong, they may offer suggestions for improvement (e.g., taking a course at another institution, speaking with a healthcare professional, etc.). If you follow the suggestions, the likelihood of reinstatement in a future semester will increase. At that time, you will need to submit a new application for reinstatement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Am I allowed to change my major upon reinstatement?” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Yes, changing your major if <\/span>you\u2019re<\/span> reinstated is allowed. It is quite common that while away from JHU, some students realize that their academic difficulty was significantly influenced by their choice of major. Researching and exploring another major while on suspension and sharing that in your reinstatement letter is one way to <\/span>demonstrate<\/span> that <\/span>you have<\/span>\u00a0been reflective about your situation.
