<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning OACRAO Colleagues,<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 and his current status is
<b>suspension </b>and it was as of summer 2022 from that school. It’s the student’s second suspension from said school, but the student is a senior. Can the 1+ Senior policy be applied to admit the student in this case? The student has never attended ECU and
in the past, I only recall applying the policy to senior 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? Help!<o:p></o:p></p>
