A student with a cumulative GPA (CGPA) below 2.00, who earned a semester GPA below 2.0 while on 学术警告, is in 学术悬挂.

A student placed on 学术悬挂 may not schedule courses at the University for two consecutive semesters (note: 夏天 session is equal to one semester and includes all courses offered after 春天 semester and before 秋天 semester).

A student returning from 学术悬挂 must apply for re-enrollment to the University (教师 Senate Policy 58-00).

A student must receive written support from the college/major the student intends to pursue. If re-enrollment is granted, the student will return to the University in 学术警告 Status with the former CGPA and with a registration warning hold in place. In order to lift the hold, the student must meet with an academic advisor. 

A student who has been placed on 学术悬挂 and fails to achieve a semester GPA of  2.00 or above is subject to 学术解雇 and will not be able to schedule courses at Penn State for four years.

What steps should you take if you are a Berks student in 学术悬挂 seeking Re-enrollment?

  1. Schedule an appointment with the 金融援助 Office. Please contact them at (610) 396-6070 to discuss your financial profile and possible funding options.
  2. Contact the Berks Advising Center at 610-396-6280 to schedule an appointment to create an Academic Return Plan.
  3. Prior to attending your appointment, please print out and complete the Academic Success Plan 工作表 and take it to your Advising Meeting.
  4. At your Advising Meeting, you will learn more details about returning from suspension and work with an advisor to create an action plan.
  5. If you will be requesting re-enrollment into a non-Berks major, you will need to contact the Program Representative from that college/major. If you are re-enrolling into a Berks major, you will meet with the Program Chair of that major. You will learn more about this at your Advising Meeting.
  6. Re-enrollment forms must then be submitted to the 注册商’s Office, along with proof of the meeting with an academic advisor and Program Chair, no later than the deadline for processing.  (日期见下文).
