Academic Catalog - Concordia College

Readmission After Academic Suspension
Students on academic suspension will not be considered for admission until the suspension
period is over. To be considered, the students should forward a letter of application to the
Office of the Director of Admissions.
If the cumulative GPA is less than that required by Concordia for Satisfactory Academic
Performance, the cumulative GPA may be adjusted by excluding from computation of the
cumulative GPA a maximum of nine semester hours or twelve quarter hours of courses with the
lowest grades.
If, after excluding these hours, the student meets Concordia's definition of Satisfactory
Academic Performance, readmission may be granted or, if a new student, admitted for the first
time. However, the excluded courses required for graduation or their equivalents must be
repeated at Concordia.
The College limits the number of times that a student may be suspended from the institution
because of academic reasons. A student may be suspended and return on academic probation
only once. Students who are suspended a second time for academic reasons may enroll as
students at Concordia only when their cumulative GPA earned elsewhere is at least a 2.00 in 24
or more transferable hours. None of these hours may be earned during the first semester of
suspension from Concordia College.
Readmission After Disciplinary Suspension
To be readmitted, the student must have a cumulative GPA that meets Concordia's definition of
Satisfactory Academic Performance. The steps for readmission are:
1. Submit an application for admission.
2. Write a letter to the Vice President of Student Services stating how change has occurred
since suspension and explain why readmission should be granted.
3. Meet with at least one member of the Admissions Committee and the Vice President of
Student Services to discuss behavior expectations for readmission.
4. Sign a statement indicating that all rules and regulations of the college will be followed
and that a positive attitude will be displayed following readmission.
5. The above steps must take place at least 3 weeks prior to the semester in which the
student seeks readmission.
A student who is suspended a second time because of a disciplinary infraction is expelled from
the College.
