<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning OACRAO Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question regarding the Regent’s Senior Suspension policy and wanted feedback from others.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a student who is trying to transfer from a regional Oklahoma university to us and his current status is
<b>suspension </b>and it was as of summer 2022. It’s the student’s second suspension, but the student is a senior. Can the policy be applied to admit the student in this case, with the student trying to transfer to our institution with two suspensions and
having never attended here? In the past, I only recall applying the policy to students who were currently enrolled with us. Do I tell the student go to a two-year school and get your GPA up to a 2.0 and come back?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The policy states:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="pf0"><span class="cf01"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">B. Suspension of Seniors</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="pf0"><span class="cf01"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">An institution may allow a student with 90 or more hours in a specified degree program who has failed to meet the GPA of 2.0 or the semester GPA of 2.0 to enroll in up to
15 additional semester hours in a further attempt to achieve the GPA requirement. During this 15 hours of enrollment, the student must achieve a minimum 2.0 semester GPA during each enrollment or raise the GPA to 2.0 or above. This senior suspension exception
can be exercised only once per student.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your feedback. It’s much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
