APPLY NOW        REQUEST INFORMATION 

 
Suspension or Dismissal

Suspension is the denial of enrollment for a specified period of time, not to exceed one academic year. Request for reinstatement is referred to the Chair of the Student Review Committee.

Dismissal is denial of enrollment for an indefinite period of time. Dismissed students must submit an application for admission to the School, meet all admission requirements, and be judged on their merits in relation to the pool of applicants in order to gain readmission. The Office of Admissions will refer applications for readmission of those who have been dismissed to the Office of the Dean or his designee. If the recommendation is to admit a previously dismissed student, it is anticipated the student will be required to start the entire program with previously earned credits being lost. However, an applicant once readmitted may request in writing to the Associate Deam of the MSW Program a review of the previous transcript for possibility of transfer credit.

Grounds for suspension or dismissal include:

  • Academic failure
  • Academic risk
  • Problematic professional behavior including ethical violations
  • Academic dishonesty
  • Conviction of a crime
  • Falsifying information on the admissions application

Students who are dismissed and who wish to submit an application for readmission to the School of Social Work:

  • Must formally apply for admission and meet regular admissions criteria and deadlines. In addition, applicants for readmission must submit a personal statement describing their understanding of the grounds for this dismissal and their plans for success in the program should be readmitted.
  • If admission is granted, at least one year from the time of dismissal must have elapsed before matriculation will be permitted.
