Eligibility. Specifically, the academic dean may dismiss:
| (1) |
A student on probation if the work is not improving sufficiently to indicate good likelihood of obtaining the minimum grades required for graduation.

A freshman or first semester transfer student with less than a .50 at the end of the first semester.

Application for readmission may be made through the academic dean of the college from which the student was dismissed or the academic dean of a new college/school to which one wishes to transfer. Such application must include convincing evidence of the student's efforts during the period of dismissal to eliminate previous weaknesses. The dean then assigns the student to the examination aids center for further required testing. After evaluating the test results, the dean will inform the student whether or not he/she has been reinstated.
