Academic Probation Dismissal Suspension

Failure to maintain established standards of academic performance will result in probation, dismissal or suspension from Felician University. Academic Probation carries with it a possible reduction in course load, the repetition of required courses, and more frequent conferences with Department Chairs, Advisors, and an Academic Counselor. No student may be on Academic Probation for more than two consecutive semesters. If a student must be placed on Academic Probation a third time, he or she will be dismissed from the University. Individual Schools may have a more stringent policy.

Felician University reserves the right to request, at any time, the withdrawal or suspension of a student who does not meet academic and/or ethical standards, who cannot observe the social regulations or standards of conduct at both the University and off-campus practicum sites, and who exhibits inappropriate behavior. No student dismissed for lack of academic progress may reapply for admission until one year has elapsed or until he or she submits an official transcript demonstrating satisfactory academic progress at another institution of higher education. (Please refer to transfer policy). The student must:

1. Be interviewed by the Dean of the School for which the student wishes to enroll to ascertain that he/she meets the admission standards for that program;
2. Complete the application for re-admission.

Readmission decisions are made by the Dean of the School to which the student is applying. The Admissions Office will be informed of the decision. Students will be notified by letter from the Admissions Office.

A student who has been dismissed from Felician University for lack of academic progress may not take courses as a non-matriculated student.

Any exception to these regulations must be approved by the Dean of the School from which the student was dismissed, or by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
