A graduate student who has been officially dismissed and who seeks reinstatement shall submit a formal request for reinstatement, along with a supporting statement of explanation, to the chair of the academic department. The request shall be acted upon by the established procedure or review group appropriate to the particular graduate program. If a student is subsequently readmitted to the program from which he/she was dismissed the “Y” checkstop will be removed from the student record by written request to the Graduate School.
