Readmission Policy
If a student is dismissed or withdraws from the College of Pharmacy, he or she may not apply for
admission for a class starting less than 12 calendar months after the date of dismissal or withdrawal.
He or she may only apply as a first-year student. In order to be considered for admission, the candidate
must provide adequate evidence that the conditions and/or factors that caused the prior dismissal or
withdrawal have changed significantly, so that there is reasonable expectation that the applicant can
perform satisfactorily if admitted.
Any applicant applying for admission must do so through the Office of Admissions of the
Health Professions Divisions and must follow the same procedure as any other entering student.
Admission will be solely at the discretion of the dean as are all admissions. The student’s prior
academic records will remain part of his or her overall academic record and will be recorded on
the permanent transcript. If admitted, none of the student’s prior grades will be used in calculating
his or her new grade point average.

non-grading Related Grievance (s)
Any student has the right to seek redress of a grievance with immunity from disciplinary action or
retaliation without regard as to the sex, race, religion, disability, color, creed, ethnic, or national origin as
included in the regulations of Title VI, Title IX, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act. For a student to address a grievance, he or she must use the following procedures:
1. The student will present the grievance to the faculty member. If the faculty member cannot affect
a resolution to the problem, the student may then consult with the chair of the department or
program director. If the chair/program director cannot affect a resolution, the student may then
consult with the assistant dean for experiential programs and student services or the director of
student services.
2. The assistant dean for experiential programs and student services or the director of student services
will hear the grievance. If a resolution cannot be affected, the student may consult with the
executive associate dean.
3. If a satisfactory solution cannot be achieved, the student will be advised to prepare a written,
signed request to the chair of the Student Progress Committee, setting forth the grievance and
requesting a hearing with the Student Progress Committee.
4. Copies of appropriate and relevant documentation must be appended to this request, which will
include a statement to redress the student requests.
5. The chair of the SPC shall convene the committee after receipt of a written request.
6. The student will be notified in advance of the date, time, and place of the meeting.
