Ohio State ATI PETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT

documents/Academic_Affairs/Petition_for_Reinstatement.pdf
Academic dismissal occurs when a student’s academic progress is determined to be unsatisfactory (Faculty Rule
3335-9-26). In order for a dismissed student to return to the University and continue to pursue their degree, they
must be reinstated (Faculty Rule 3335-9-28). Students wishing to be reinstated must complete and submit a Petition
for Reinstatement as described below. Students will be reinstated if it is determined that there is a high probability
of future academic success.
The Petition for Reinstatement must present compelling evidence indicating that academic performance and other
issues (behavioral, health, environmental, employment, etc.) have been improved or addressed to assure future
academic success (Faculty Rule 3335-9-28). This body of evidence may include:
Transcripts indicating academic success (prefer A’s and B’s) in college courses taken after dismissal
(i.e. successful completion of “hurdle” courses English, math, chemistry, physics, biology, etc.).
Letters from healthcare/treatment provider(s) or treatment records.
Reference letter from employer(s)
If reinstatement occurs, the student will be placed on academic probation. If conditions of probation are not met
the student may again be dismissed from the University (Faculty Rule 3335-9-28).
Reinstatement Petition Process:
1. Students are required to provide detailed responses to all questions on the petition.
2. If you have attended another institution since dismissal, submit a copy of your grades with your petition. If
reinstated, an official transcript will need to be submitted to the Ohio State University to grant credit for the
courses taken.
3. If a letter of recommendation from an employer(s) is appropriate, include the letter with your petition.
4. Provide any other important documentation that may support your petition (e.g., copies of healthcare records,
letters from treatment provider(s), etc.)
Submit the petition and all supporting documentation as a packet via e-mail to ATIAcademicAffairs@osu.edu
