4. CONTRACTUAL READMISSION

4.1 Academically Suspended students who have had a break in enrollment for at least 3 years may petition for Contractual Readmission. A student may be readmitted under this option only once.

4.2.1 The student will be placed on Academic Warning and must maintain at 2.0 GPA on all coursework attempted after readmission.

4.2.2 The student’s entire academic record will continue to be displayed on the official transcript, including the official grade point average on all work attempted at NC State.

4.2.3 For courses attempted prior to readmission, only work of C- or better will count toward fulfilling graduation hours and requirements.

4.2.4 For purposes of graduation eligibility, a second contractual grade point average will be calculated based only on courses that are attempted after readmission.

4.3 Failure to maintain a contractual GPA at least a 2.0 will result in permanent dismissal from the university.
