Returning from Academic Suspension/Dismissal
![]()
Academic Suspension
After completing two semesters of suspension, students are eligible to re-enroll at Miami University. To do so, each returning from suspension student must complete the following process:
Procedures for Re-admission
Applications for re-admission to the Oxford campus are available on the web at http://www.muohio.edu/registrar/ (select Student Services, then Re-admission Form.) Hamilton and Middletown campus students must contact their campus' Records Office.
Submit your form at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the term in which you intend to re-enroll. You will be informed of your eligibility to register after you complete this step.
To register for classes you must first schedule an appointment with a learning specialist in the Rinella Learning Center and an academic advisor from the division of your major. The appointments may take place by telephone or in person. Regional campus students must meet with academic advising in person. Office contact information is listed below.
Upon verification that you have met these requirements, advising holds will be released from your record allowing you to register for classes.
Academic Dismissal
Students who have been dismissed should apply for re-enrollment through the Office of the Registrar. Apply for re-enrollment at least 30 days before the beginning of the term that you intend to enroll. Information is available at www.muohio.edu/registrar/.
Returning students whose degree programs have been discontinued should consult with their academic departments or divisions.
Fresh Start Policy
Fresh Start Policy is designed to help students return to good academic standing after an absence of at least two calendar years.
Students who have been academically suspended or dismissed are eligible for Fresh Start status. Other students who have left the university without being suspended or dismissed but who believe their past academic record suffered due to extenuating circumstances may petition their Divisional Committee of Advisers after a two-year absence. Credit earned from other institutions during the two-year period will not be accepted for transfer credit. For more information about Fresh Start Policy, see The Student Handbook at www.muohio.edu/handbook or contact the Office of the Registrar at 513-529-8703.
