Reinstatements

Policy and Process for Reinstatement:

University policy states, “Dismissed students will be readmitted only when approved for reinstatement by the Academic Standards Committee of the college the students are attempting to enter. Normally students must wait at least two semesters before being considered for reinstatement and are on academic warning at the time of readmission.” View policy. Two semesters is defined as two regular semesters (Fall and Spring or Spring and Fall). This is done to provide students time to evaluate and redefine educational goals, and to address circumstances that negatively impacted academic performance. While waiting, dismissed students may complete courses at other institutions. Courses taken at other institutions will not change the K-State cumulative grade point average but may serve to demonstrate improved academic performance. There is no guarantee of readmission to K-State after the waiting period.

Extenuating circumstances that might be considered for earlier reinstatement are administrative error, military orders, death of immediate family member, divorce, natural disaster, personal health or serious family illness, or employment. Students must provide documentation of extenuating circumstances with their reinstatement application. That documentation can be through K-State offices such as: Student Support and Accountability, Counseling Services, Student Access Center, Lafene Health Center, Office of Institutional Equity, or a letter from any outside health care provider.

To be reinstated to the College of Arts and Sciences, you must identify a major in the college that you are interested in pursuing. View all the College of Arts and Sciences majors. If, after the waiting period, you wish to be considered for reinstatement to the College of Arts and Sciences, please complete and submit the ArtSci Reinstatement Application Form. We do not reinstate students into Summer terms.

Should you wish to be reinstated into a major in another college at K-State, you must petition for reinstatement into that college. You can find the university and the other college reinstatement resources at the Registrar's Reinstatement Resources page.
