Petition for Academic Reinstatement - Form

Before you complete this form, determine if you are eligible to petition for reinstatement. Students who have been academically suspended from YSU must remain dismissed for at least one semester before being eligible to petition for reinstatement.  If you meet this criteria, submit this form to petition for academic reinstatement.  The Academic Reinstatement Committee will consider your petition.  Submitting a reinstatement form is not a guarantee of reinstatement to Youngstown State University and/or the program you wish to pursue.  Petitioners will be notified of the Committee's decision.  The Committee's decision is final.

7.) For which semester are you seeking reinstatement:

You must submit your petition by the deadline specified below. You may submit your petition as far in advance of the deadline as you wish. Petitions received after the deadline will not be reviewed.
8.) Have you completed your FAFSA for the academic year for which you want to be reinstated?
9.) Have you applied for readmission to YSU?
11.) Have you attended another university since being academically suspended from YSU?
12.) Did you earn a degree or certificate?
Have you reviewed the curriculum for the major you wish to pursue and understand the requirements?

1) Explain the reasons that led to your academic suspension.  If your explanation references circumstances beyond your control (i.e. significant personal illness, significant illness of a close family member, death in the family, eviction, financial issues, etc.),  you must also provide (upload) official documentation (medical documentation, obituary, eviction notice, etc.) to support the veracity of your statement. 


2) Describe the steps you will take if reinstated to ensure your academic success.

15.) Agreement to follow recovery plan

Students who are granted reinstatement will be given an academic recovery plan by the Reinstatement Committee and will be required to discuss the plan with their academic advisor. The plan may include a recommended change of major, academic reassessment, YSU summer term enrollment, repeating classes, tutoring, individual coaching, mental health counseling, and/or other strategies to support academic success. I understand that by submitting this form, I agree to follow the recovery plan provided to me.
16.) Correct Readmission application

If you have been away from YSU for 3 consecutive semesters, you must apply for readmission before the required closing date for the semester.  Please choose the correct readmission application below.
