The student is immediately dropped from all enrollments in day,
evening, or extension classes (except Independent Study). |
| 2. |
The student may not enroll in BYU day, evening, or extension classes
(except Independent Study) for a minimum of twelve months.
During this time the student is expected to resolve all problems
leading to the student's academic suspension. After twelve or more
months, the student may apply for readmission. If the student
completes any college-level work while on Suspension, the student
must receive an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in that course work to
be allowed readmission. The student should contact the Admissions
Office, A-153 ASB, (801) 422-2507, for details and pertinent

An academically dismissed student may not enroll in day, evening, or
extension classes (except Independent Study). After three years a
student is eligible to enroll in evening or extension classes. A student
may seek an exception to be readmitted as a degree-seeking student
after two years by petitioning the Academic Standards Committee. |
Note: College advisement centers (CACs) may also set registration
blocks on students not progressing toward timely graduation. In such cases, students
must also meet with their CAC to have this block removed.
