Embarking on the path toward academic reinstatement at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) presents students with a structured process aimed at ensuring they are primed for success upon their return. This journey begins with the completion of the UMBC Reinstatement Form, a crucial step for undergraduates who have previously been part of the UMBC community but have faced academic suspension or dismissal. It is designed as a comprehensive tool to not only assess past academic hurdles but also to solidify a robust plan for future academic success. The form requires students to provide a candid reflection on the challenges that led to their previous academic standings, supplemented by official transcripts from any institutions attended since their departure from UMBC. Moreover, a detailed academic plan of action, crafted in collaboration with an academic advisor, must be submitted, demonstrating the student's commitment to reversing past academic missteps. Additional supporting documents, such as medical records or letters of recommendation, can also be included to strengthen one's case for reinstatement. Recognizing the importance of settling any university debts and adhering to specified deadlines is also paramount in this process. Through this comprehensive approach, UMBC aims to ensure that returning students are provided with the guidance and support needed to thrive academically, highlighting the university's commitment to fostering an environment of growth and learning for all its students.

Reinstatement application
please use this form only if you have previously been enrolled as an undergraduate at UmBc.
Reinstatement
if you were not in good academic standing or were academically suspended or dismissed at
the end of your last semester at UmBc, you are applying for reinstatement. all applications for reinstatement are subject to petition Board review.
the petition Board requires the following information to reach a inal decision:
na written statement explaining the circumstances leading to your poor academic standing.
noficial transcripts from all schools attended since your last enrollment at UmBc.
nan academic plan of action form completed with your academic advisor.
nadditional pertinent information may be submitted at your discretion, such as medical documents, letters of reference or recommendations.
nany university debts must be settled by the appropriate deadline date as noted below.
the petition Board views suspension as a beneicial time in a student’s academic career, allowing an opportunity for relection and reassessment.
if you have been academically suspended from UmBc, you should plan to attend another institution during your period of suspension. if you do so, and complete 12 transferable academic credits with a grade point average of 2.50 or better, you will be considered for reinstatement to UmBc for a minimum of one or two semesters. Your selection of courses taken at
another institution should be done in consultation with your UmBc advisor. if you decide instead to “sit out” the semester and do not enroll at another institution during your period of suspension from UmBc, reinstatement is not guaranteed.
evaluation and processing of reinstatement applications requires four to six weeks, once all necessary materials are received. You will be informed of the board’s decision by letter. Decisions are not discussed over the telephone. this protects your privacy under the provisions of the University policy on Disclosure of student Records.

the intent of the academic clemency policy is to permit students who had a poor record in their previous enrollment to exclude courses in which failing grades were earned. the decision to grant clemency will be made to ensure that the prior record does not put the student in academic jeopardy upon return. clemency will not be granted simply as a way to increase the grade point average.
