Submission Deadlines

Please note that these deadlines are not negotiable.

Current students (enrolled in the previous full term)

Non-continuing students (not enrolled the previous full term)

1. Download a Petition for Reinstatement (Word or PDF)

2. Complete the Petition and submit it
   You must submit your petition by the above deadline.

3. Make an appointment with your academic advisor immediately:

   • An advisor's recommendation is needed before the Scholastic Standing Committee can review your petition.

   • Undeclared students must meet with an advisor in the Engineering Advising Center (734) 647-7106.

   • Declared students must meet with the chief program advisor in their department.

4. Ensure that your transcript is complete and accurate.

   Check your record on Wolverine Access -- if grades are not current or accurate, obtain signed letters from instructors indicating correct grades and attach to your petition.

5. Make sure that your phone number and address is current on the University directory.

   The Scholastic Standing Committee must be able to contact you for appointments, decisions and additional questions. If the Committee cannot contact you, your petition will be withdrawn.

6. The Scholastic Standing Committee will review your petition using the following guidelines:

   • Your prospects for academic success

   • Your overall personal well-being

   • Whether you met previous reinstatement conditions (if applicable)

7. If it is determined that you must meet with the Committee, you will be contacted by Scholastic Standing Committee staff to arrange an appointment. Otherwise, you will be informed of the Committee's decision via mail and email.

   IMPORTANT: While your petition is pending, it is imperative that you attend all classes you intend to register for if your petition is approved. Additional documentation may be requested.

Things to Consider:

• If you fail to meet the petition deadlines indicated on your official notification of academic standing (mailed within three weeks following each term), you will forfeit your right to petition for those terms and you will be withdrawn from any future terms. There are no exceptions to this rule.

• Reinstatement is not automatic, and depends largely on a realistic assessment of your prospects for academic success. If personal issues are adversely impacting your performance, the Committee may recommend a temporary leave until the issues are resolved.

• If your enrollment has been withheld for three or more times, you must take leave from the University for the next full academic term. There are no exceptions to this rule. If granted reinstatement at a later date, you will have a terminal term to meet your reinstatement conditions; otherwise, you will be permanently dismissed from the University of Michigan.

• To graduate, students must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA and a 2.0 program GPA. It is a policy of the College not to reinstate a student who has taken all courses required for a degree, but does not have a 2.0 grade point average.
