Withdrawal

The general rules governing withdrawal from the University are given in the General Information Catalog. In addition, the following rules apply to the School of Law.

A person who has earned fewer than nine semester hours of credit in the School of Law, has withdrawn, and then wishes to resume studies, must reapply for admission to the School of Law. The reapplication for admission is handled and evaluated as if it were an initial application. 

A student who has withdrawn from the School of Law after receiving nine or more semester hours of credit may be readmitted to the school if the student was not on academic probation or academic concern when he or she withdrew or took a leave of absence. Such a student must submit an application for readmission to the University. The Dean of the School of Law may also require the student to show evidence of circumstances that demonstrate a likelihood of academic success.

A student who, while on academic probation or academic concern, withdrew from the School of Law, took a leave of absence, or was placed on a leave of absence may be readmitted on these conditions: the student must submit an application for readmission to the University; provide evidence of changed circumstances that demonstrate a likelihood of academic success; and have permission of the Dean of the School of Law to return. A student readmitted under this rule will continue on academic probation or academic concern. Refer to the School of Law website for details relating to the Probation and Dismissal policy.
