Reinstatement
-
- Department uses change of major policy for reinstatement
- Both requirements stated in the policy should be met and students will be ranked based on the provided formula (using mainly STEM GPA).
- Enrolling in a major class as an Open University (OU) student without a study plan does not mean that student has been reinstated in the major and the department is under no obligation to reinstate that student even if a significant progress has being made toward a degree.
