Reinstatement
Students suspended from the university for poor scholarship may appeal for Academic Reinstatement following their first academic suspension.
Students will not be allowed an immediate appeal if they have been previously suspended. After the first suspension, students must wait at least one semester before appealing for reinstatement, and should use this time to reflect on their academic challenges and plan for a successful return. Students enrolling at another school during their period of suspension from the university will be expected to meet university admission requirements to return to FHSU. An official transcript from other institutions must be sent to the Office of the Registrar.
If a student wishes to apply for academic reinstatement, they must complete and submit an Appeal for Academic Reinstatement form. Students must request an appeal form by emailing reinstatementsupport@fhsu.edu. Completed appeals will be reviewed by the Academic Reinstatement Committee. Students are encouraged to submit thoughtful and complete responses to the questions and prompt on the appeal form, demonstrating what they have learned from their academic challenges and experiences, and that they have made plans to support their academic success if reinstated. The Academic Reinstatement Committee will not meet with students in person or online, so it is important to include all relevant information for the Committee’s consideration in the appeal form. Reinstatement is not automatic or guaranteed; each appeal is holistically considered by the Committee.
Students will be informed of the Academic Reinstatement Committee's decisions via email. Students who are approved for Academic Reinstatement will receive instructions on next steps and will work with their academic advisor to plan their upcoming classes.
Students seeking reinstatement for Fall semester 2026 must submit the completed Appeal for Academic Reinstatement no later than August 7, 2026. Decisions will be made the week August 10-13.
