You may take courses at
other institutions while away from the University, and receive credit
for those courses (please check with U of M admissions or your major
department to make sure that the courses you are thinking of taking
will transfer in).
For
most students who have been suspended, taking some time off from the
University is a good thing, as it provides an opportunity to reevaluate
your goals and priorities and to work through whatever issues were
keeping you from performing at your maximum potential.
Procedure for Readmittance
Schedule an appointment with the MLK Scholastic Committee representative, Ellen Sunshine, by calling the MLK front desk at 612-625-2300. Be prepared to talk about the following:
1. For what semester are you seeking readmission?
2. What factors/behaviors contributed to your suspension?
3. What did you do with your time away from the U?
4. What has changed and what do you plan to do differently to ensure a successful academic semester/career?
5. What major/academic plan will you be pursuing upon readmission?
If you have attended any schools in the interim, please bring a copy of your transcript (official or unofficial).
The appointment should be made in a timely manner. Please do not wait until the month before the start of the semester. The Committee reserves the right to defer your readmission at any time. After your meeting with Ellen, you will be notified in writing within one week of the Committee's decision.
