Academic Suspension

If students do not meet measures of satisfactory academic progress after two consecutive semesters on academic probation, they will receive a notice of academic suspension and it will be noted on their transcript.

Students will be informed that repeated instances of failure to achieve measures of satisfactory academic progress have reduced the likelihood of successful graduation.
Students who have been suspended are not eligible to enroll in classes at CMU until one of the following options is completed.

Post-Suspension Options:

Petition for readmission on full-time/part-time, probationary status: A suspended student who wishes to return full-time/part-time to CMU classes (at any campus/site or online) must petition the faculty Committee on Academic Standards and Admissions (care of the Office of the Provost) to enroll as a full-time/part-time student at CMU (at any CMU campus/site or online or summer or regular CGES term). If that petition is successful, the student will be readmitted on academic probation. If a student enrolls in a January or May term class before the student is informed that the student has been suspended, he or she may finish out only that term's classes. The student may not enroll in any Summer or other regular term class without a successful petition of the Committee. The decision of the Committee on Academic Standards is final and binding on all parties.
Enroll at another accredited institution during suspension period: A suspended student who chooses to enroll at another accredited institution during the period of suspension and who then petitions for readmission at CMU must submit official transcripts from that other institution for review by the Committee on Academic Standards and Admissions before the student is readmitted. The student may not enroll in any CMU courses (at any CMU campus/site or online or summer or regular CGES) unless and until that student has successfully petitioned the Committee.
