When a student is academically dismissed from UMES, he/she must complete the Application for Reinstatement prior to the desired date of reinstatement. Reinstatement will not normally be granted by the UMES Academic appeals Board until at least one semester has elapsed from the time of the student’s dismissal. Reinstatement is not automatic; however, if the Application is denied, a student may again apply for reinstatement after a lapse of an additional semester.
Upon being reinstated following Academic Dismissal, the student will be placed on Academic Probation and will be subject to the conditions of Academic Probation.
Any appeal concerning the policy on Academic Dismissal or Academic Probation, shall be directed to the Academic Appeals Board which is empowered to grant relief in unusual cases, if the circumstances warrant such action.
Guidelines for Reinstatement (READ CAREFULLY)
Students MUST file a reinstatement application if one or more of the following applies:
(a) They have been ACADEMICALLY DISMISSED
(b) They are ineligible for readmission due to DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION
(c) They are ineligible for readmission due to JUDICIAL SUSPENSION.
Students may be reinstated ONLY in the major and/or course of study in which they were last enrolled. Changes to major/course of study can be processed AFTER reinstatement, requiring completion of the appropriate form at: www.umes.edu/registrar/frequently-used-forms/.
Students applying for reinstatement who have attended ANY other college/university since their attendance at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, MUST submit applicable official transcripts, electronically at transcripts@umes.edu, or by mail to the Office of the Registrar (address directly below).
