GENERAL READMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
A matriculated, degree-seeking student who has been absent from Walsh for one full academic year or more must file a Returning
Student Application in the Office of the Registrar at least two weeks prior to registration. An academic advisor will be assigned
and all records will be updated according to the appropriate catalog. If the student has attended another institution during this
absence, he/she will be required to submit official transcripts for evaluation prior to readmission.
ACADEMIC STANDING (GOOD STANDING, PROBATION, DISMISSAL, AND SUSPENSION)
A minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 is considered good academic standing for students with sophomore, junior, or senior
status. Freshmen are considered to be in good academic standing with a 1.75 overall grade point average.
Any student who is under the grade point average required for good academic standing for his/her class will be placed on academic
probation at the end of the current semester. Probationary students are required to attend a minimum of five academic counseling
sessions coordinated through the counseling services office. Non-compliance with counseling sessions will result in a registration
hold.
Probationary students also are required to take the study skills course (ENG 110) unless they have successfully completed it while
at Walsh University. In this case they must complete the tutoring part of this course. Freshman and Sophomore probation students
are supervised by the Director of Academic Assistance. Junior and Seniors on probation are supervised by the Director of
Advising.
A student placed on academic probation who shows lack of progress at the end of the next completed semester will be placed on
continued probation, EXCEPT in cases where the semester grade point average was 1.00 or below. In this case, the student will be
subject to academic suspension or dismissal.
Under academic suspension, the student is ineligible to return until at least one semester (excluding summer) has passed and a
minimum of six semester hours have been completed at another institution with a grade of “C” or higher. The Walsh University
School for Professional Studies Program does not count as another institution.
Under academic dismissal, the student is ineligible to return until three years have passed.
Students receiving academic suspension or dismissal may appeal this decision by following the instructions stated in their academic
standing letter.
Registrations for subsequent semesters will be cancelled for all students who have been suspended or dismissed.
READMISSION AFTER ACADEMIC SUSPENSION OR DISMISSAL
A student suspended from the University for academic reasons is eligible for readmission after an interim of one semester (excluding
summer terms) and the completion of six credits as a transient student at another institution. The Walsh University School for
Professional Studies Program does not count as another institution.
A student dismissed from the University for academic reasons is eligible for readmission after an interim of three years.
Students suspended or dismissed may seek to re-enroll under the Academic Forgiveness Policy. See page 31 for specific guidelines.
All petitions for re-admission must be submitted to and approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to completing
an official application for re-admission.
Upon approval, an application for re-admission must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Additionally, upon
change of status, students will be required to attend five academic counseling sessions through the University’s Counseling
Services Office.
REPETITION OF COURSES
Students may repeat any course taken at Walsh University. There may be limits by individual divisions set on the number of times
a course may be repeated in the major. The recording of grades for a repeated course will be governed by the following conditions:
1) credit for a course will only be awarded once (The student cannot transfer in a course already completed at Walsh);
