C. Academic Suspension
First Suspension
A student suspended for the first time must remain out of KSU for at least one (1) fall or spring semester.
To be considered for reinstatement, the student must meet with the Dean (or designee) of their college by the established deadline to discuss their academic standing. Applicable deadlines are August 1 for the fall semester, December 1 for the spring semester, and May 1 for the summer term.
If a suspended student remains out of KSU for more than two (2) years, they must reapply for admission after reinstatement is approved.
These requirements also apply to transfer students who are ineligible to return to their previous institution due to academic deficiency.
Second Suspension
A student suspended for a second time must remain out of KSU for at least two (2) full fall or spring semesters.
Reinstatement after a second suspension is granted only in unusual circumstances and requires the following steps be completed by the relevant deadline (August 1 for fall, December 1 for spring, May 1 for summer):
The student must meet with their college Dean (or designee) and obtain a positive recommendation for reinstatement.
The student must submit an appeal letter to a university-level ad hoc review committee.
The ad hoc committee, consisting of representatives from each undergraduate college, must approve the request for reinstatement.
If reinstatement is approved, the student must then apply for readmission to the University.
Third or Subsequent Suspension
A student suspended for a third time or more will be subject to a "Final Suspension."
