Academic Dismissal

Returning to UT after dismissal

No matter when you return to UT, our goal is to help position you for maximum achievement and make your return to the University a successful one.

Applying for Readmission Following a Dismissal

The deadline for readmission for previously dismissed students is earlier than for other readmissions candidates. Previously dismissed students must submit an Application for Readmission by these firm deadlines.

Previously dismissed students are required to attend a Readmissions Success Workshop prior to enrollment. One element of our Readmissions Success Program, the workshop positions you for a successful return to UT by exploring key policy changes, critical graduation requirements, and practical academic strategies.

“Students who have been dismissed and are readmitted will be required to participate in a special program that emphasizes academic success skills and strategies.”

Appealing Your Dismissal

By appealing your dismissal, you are requesting an exception to University policy and seeking immediate reinstatement to the University.
