universities attended since their enrollment at Roane State.
3. All applicants whose last semester of attendance resulted in academic suspension
and who are seeking readmission within one calendar year of that suspension
must meet with the Admission and Retention Committee to appeal the
suspension prior to readmission. If reinstated, these students may be required to
undergo placement assessment. Enrollment in the courses indicated by results of
the assessment is mandatory.
