Disqualified undergraduate students must petition the Admissions and Standards Committee for reinstatement and file an application for readmission at www.csumentor.edu. All of the following procedures must be followed for the student to be considered for reinstatement.
1. Present a "Petition for Reinstatement" to the Registrar's Office within the published deadlines (available in the Student Services Center) under one of the following conditions:
In all cases, permission of the major department is required for reinstatement to that major.
2. Submit an "Application for Admission" before the established deadline, if there has been one full intervening semester. See petition instructions and forms for additional information.
Petitions for reinstatement and information regarding the application process are available to disqualified students from the Student Services Center.
At least one semester must have passed since the disqualification and the program of study must have been approved by the student's major advisor and department chair. Departments are not required to authorize reinstatement from disqualification. Enrollment through Extended Studies (Open University) as well as enrollment at any other accredited institution of higher learning, may be used to satisfy the program of study. The minimum program of study is two courses totaling six or more units, but up to nine units may be required by the major department. The petition, with transcripts which support the completion of the program of study, must be in the hands of the committee 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student wishes to enroll. A student who has been disqualified a second time must raise his/her SJSU grade point average to a 2.0 before a petition will be considered. Undergraduates who have been disqualified a second time are not eligible for a program of study.
Petitions will not be accepted from students who, for non-payment of fees, or any other reason, have "holds" on their records.
The Admissions and Standards Committee will review all petitions for reinstatement and make one of the following recommendations to the Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Studies.
1. Rescind the disqualification, but only in cases of error, or in such cases where the student was unable to make a change in program or to withdraw from the university due to circumstances beyond his or her control.
2. Confirm the disqualification but immediately reinstate the student to probation status when a review of the student's record shows a high potential to make up any deficiencies in the next semester. If approved for reinstatement, a disqualified student is eligible for enrollment in the semester following disqualification provided he or she has completed the readmission process.
3. Confirm the disqualification and deny reinstatement.
The following regulations apply to readmission following disqualification:
1. Disqualified students are subject to the same enrollment limitations and admissions application requirements as all other students. Readmission to the university does not assure readmission to any particular semester or to a specific degree objective.
2. Regardless of the grade point average earned at any other institution, the SJSU cumulative grade point average must be raised to a "C" (2.0) before a student will be placed on clear standing.
3. The student must achieve a grade point average above 2.0 in each semester following readmission until such time as a cumulative SJSU grade point average of "C" (2.0) has been earned. Failure to do so will result in a second disqualification.
