If student had been suspended or dismissed
Students who have been suspended may reapply after one semester away from IWU. Students who have been dismissed may reapply after two semesters away.
Students who have been academically suspended or dismissed must meet the following requirements before being considered for re-admission to the university.
- Readmit Form
- Transfer Information Form (if applicable) College transcript(s) (If applicable)
- The student will need to complete a letter of appeal to be reviewed by a graduate-faculty subcommittee comprised of core faculty in the corresponding graduate program. The letter should outline:
- The pertinent factors leading to the suspension/dismissal
- What have you learned about yourself and/or the situation that will prevent academic probation from re-occurring
- Why the outcomes will be improved if you are permitted to return, and
- How you plan to make your next college experience successful
An appeal does not guarantee that a student will be granted re-admission.
