The deadline for requesting a reinstatement, beginning Summer Quarter 2025, has passed. If you have any questions, please contact the Dean of Students office.

The Dean of Students (DOS) will make a determination regarding reinstatement based on the recommendation provided by CAPS and/or Health Services. Reinstatement is based on the student's compliance with the MLOA requirements and their readiness to manage an academic course load and safely function in our community.

The DOS will notify the student and other necessary University offices in writing of the determination, and if approved, whether any conditions will apply. If reinstatement is denied, the student may appeal the determination.

Step 4 -Complete the Former Student to Re-Enter Form
If reinstatement is approved, complete the FRET Form and submit it to your academic dean's office.

If reinstatement is denied, the student may appeal the determination to the Dean of Students (or his or her designee) in writing within three (3) business days of the decision. The appeal should be made in writing and should set forth the basis for the appeal.

The Dean of Students shall review the record and any additional information submitted by the student and renders a decision within ten (10) business days of receiving the appeal.

The Dean of Students decision shall be final.
