ACADEMIC DISMISSAL

After the first academic dismissal, the student will not be allowed to enroll at Francis Marion University until he/she has remained out of FMU for a semester (Fall or Spring). At the end of serving the dismissal, the student may apply for readmission by submitting the appropriate application packet to the Admissions Office. If the student meets all other admission requirements, the student will be readmitted and placed on Probation 1. The student must then meet the requirements under "Academic Standing: Eligibility to Continue."

After a subsequent academic dismissal, the student will not be allowed to enroll at Francis Marion University until he/she has remained out of FMU for a Fall and a Spring semester. The student may then apply for readmission by submitting the appropriate application packet to the Admissions Office. If the student meets all other admission requirements, the student will be readmitted and placed on Probation 1. The student must then meet the requirements under "Academic Standing: Eligibility to Continue."

A student who is dismissed for a third time will not be considered for readmission into the University unless she/he is eligible for the Academic Renewal program and has earned an Associate of Science or Associate of Arts Degree from another accredited institution. If the student meets all other admission requirements, the student will be admitted only into the Academic Renewal Program and placed on Probation 1.

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