After the first academic dismissal, the student shall remain out of Francis Marion University for one semester. Note that summer school does not count as a semester for this purpose. The student may apply for readmission by submitting the appropriate application to the Admissions Office. Readmitted students will remain on probation and will be given two semesters to attain a 2.0 cumulative GPA.

A subsequent dismissal requires the student to stay out two semesters. The student may then apply for readmission by submitting the appropriate application and a petition form to the Admissions Office. Readmitted students will remain on probation and will be given two semesters to attain a 2.0 cumulative GPA.

After a third dismissal, the student is ineligible to reapply to the university and is not eligible for academic renewal.

A student who has been dismissed may appeal the dismissal. The policy and procedure for this appeal can be obtained from the University Registrar.
