Readmission Requirements
Students who have been dismissed twice from the college will not be granted readmission until they have raised their cumulative G.P.A. to the equivalent of a 2.0 through the non-matriculated student process.
If a student was originally dismissed for plagiarism, readmission may be denied for up to five years.
Special Consideration Readmission Policy (Academic Amnesty)
Students applying for readmission to Plattsburgh after an absence of seven years or more may wish to apply for special consideration readmission (academic amnesty) by submitting a letter to the director of admissions. The letter should state reasons why student is requesting amnesty as well as short summary of what he/she has done after leaving Plattsburgh. Also, the student must submit transcripts for all course work completed since his/her departure from Plattsburgh. If granted, the student may have all of the previous academic record at Plattsburgh evaluated exactly as if the courses had been taken at another institution. An academic committee consisting of appropriate academic representatives reviews such cases. Committee members make their decision based on the following guidelines (as outlined in the 2007-08 College Catalog):
- A student may be readmitted under this policy only once.
- The student must not have been enrolled in any courses at Plattsburgh during the previous seven years.
- For such students, only grades received in courses taken after readmission will subsequently count toward their GPA.
- Courses with a grade high enough to warrant transfer credit had they been taken at another institution will be counted toward meeting graduation requirements, but the grade will not be computed toward the student's GPA.
- While the student's GPA after readmission will be computed based only on grades for subsequent courses taken at Plattsburgh, the earlier academic record of the student prior to readmission will remain without change.
- Requests for special consideration will be reviewed and granted no later than the time the readmitted student begins classes.
