NOTICE TO DISQUALIFIED STUDENTS WITH MANDATORY SEMESTER AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE

Because of your academic performance, you have been academically disqualified and may not be considered for reinstatement or register for classes for the Spring 2003 semester. (See below for a complete description of the policy which applies to you.) You may appeal for reinstatement for future semesters beginning with the Fall 2003 semester.

Students majoring in an Arts and Science area, and undeclared students, may request an Academic Appeal packet from:

Dr. David Bozak, Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences,
601 Culkin Hall, SUNY College at Oswego, Oswego, New York 13126.

Students majoring in one of the Education programs may request an Academic Appeal packet from:

Dr. Gerald Porter, Associate Dean of Education
202 Poucher Hall, SUNY College at Oswego, Oswego, New York 13126.

Students majoring in Business Administration may request an Academic Appeal packet from:

Ms. Paloma Jalife, Assistant Dean of Business,
101 Swetman Hall, SUNY College at Oswego, Oswego, New York 13126

Evening Degree students should contact:

Ms. Alison Finsterwalder, Assistant Director of Continuing Education,
214 Swetman Hall, SUNY College at Oswego, Oswego, New York 13126.

If you are currently enrolled in a WinterSession course (January 2-17, 2003), you will be allowed to continue in that course. You should understand, however, that the successful completion of that course will not change your disqualified status.

Finally, we urge you to begin immediately to address the problems which have stood in the way of your academic achievement. You may find it useful during time away from SUNY Oswego to deal with personal problems or to clarify your priorities, and/or to enroll in courses at another institution in order to demonstrate your potentiality for academic success. Disqualified students often improve their academic situation by repeating “D” and “E” courses at another institution. If you choose to repeat one or more such courses at another institution, you should verify that those courses are equivalent to the Oswego courses by contacting the appropriate department office.

Institutional Policy for mandatory semester off with the following cumulative grade point averages:
