Dismissal Rules for Academic and Enrollment Issues

Circumstances That May Lead to Dismissal

Dismissal may occur in any of the following circumstances: academic performance is particularly poor and there is no prospect of improvement; the student is absent continuously for three months or more without notification and without a legitimate reason; the student does not return after exceeding the total permitted period of leave; the student exceeds the maximum enrollment period of eight years; or the student remains unable to advance after spending more than four cumulative years in the same academic year. The four-year progression condition does not apply to students in the fourth year. Separate provisions apply to transfer and readmitted students regarding the maximum enrollment period.
