Petition for
Re-admission to
a Health Program
How this policy applies to you:
If you leave a health program for any reason and wish to re-enter the same program
during the following academic year, you must petition
the Dean, School of Health.
See The
Policy below
If you leave a program for two full
semesters, you may apply to the same health program under the
same requirements as a new applicant.
Do not petition the Dean.
The Policy:
~ Your
petition must be submitted by the date posted to the Dean of the School of
Health Office. Building 20, office 103. Submit your written
petition no later than 16 November to be considered for readmission for Spring Semester,
and no later than 16 March to be considered for readmission for the Fall
Semester. These dates may change from year to year. Check
here or the Dean's Office for changes in deadlines. 413-755-4510 or 4840
~ In your written petition, explain how the cause or causes that
resulted in your leaving or being removed from the program have been resolved. If the reason for your leaving the
program was medical in nature, you must have a letter from your
physician stating that it is safe for you to return.
~ If your petition is approved, you will be subject to the program
requirements stipulated in the year of your original admission.
Other conditions may be placed upon your re-entrance.
.
How a decision is
made:
Once your written petition has been received by
the Dean of the School of Health, the Re-admissions Committee will meet
to consider your particular circumstances. The Committee will
consist of the Dean, a Director or Program Chair, and faculty member from the program in which
the student wishes to re-apply. Other members may be added as
deemed appropriate by the Dean of the School of Health.
The Committee will make a decision based
on your written response to how well you document resolving the issues that
caused your leaving the program. Your over all grade point
average is not a major consideration and may have little, if any impact
on the Committee's decision. The Committee wants you to explain,
in writing, why you left the program and how you have addressed
that issue or multiple issues. Your explanation about how you will
now be successful in the program is critical.
You will be informed in
writing of the Committee decision. Admissions will also receive a
copy of the decision. The Dean of the School of Health is
located in Building 20, Office 103. | 413-755-4510 or 4840
