Suspension

Students cannot self-register. Instead, students are manually registered for a max of 13 credit hours by a First-Year Advisor in Enrollment Management. Students must complete the Academic Recovery Registration Form with their First-Year Advisor (FYA). The FYA will enroll the student in all courses, including UNIV 1020. |

Academic Recovery Registration Form is required for students with suspension standing and must be sent to an advisor in the ASC (associated with the student's major or college). ASC Advisors will enroll all suspension-standing students in courses listed on the registration form, including UNIV 1020.
