| How to Use It |
If a student on academic suspension is ready to return after a 1 semester break, they may appeal to the USAB for reinstatement. The student will submit an appeal packet demonstrating readiness to return. Students must use the fillable Academic Suspension Appeal Packet form to prepare materials for the USAB and then meet with the NACOE Assistant Dean to explain and sumit their appeal packet. Contact NACOE Dean's Office (406-994-2272). |
If a student on academic suspension is ready to return after a 2 or more semester break, they should work with the Return to Learn Office. Using the online form, returning students may open a line of communication with a Return-to-Learn Advisor and start their successful journey back to completing a degree! Remember to apply for the Return to Learn Scholarship! |
