Readmission will depend on (1) your academic eligibility, (2) your financial good standing with the University, (3) your compliance with all sanctions and fulfillment of all conditions of your suspension, (4) the University’s consideration of any disciplinary or criminal matters other than the conduct on which your suspension was based, and (5) satisfaction of all other requirements for enrollment at the University.
