Academic Suspension Review

A student who has been placed on academic suspension is not allowed to enroll at Coker College for one or more semesters (and any attached summer sessions).  During this time, we expect the student to reflect on the choices, behaviors and other conditions that resulted in poor academic performance.  We hope that each student will closely examine his or her academic and career goals, and will refocus his or her priorities in a manner that will lead to future success.

The administration of Coker College is aware that students sometimes experience extenuating circumstances (such as a significant injury, illness or family emergency) that are beyond their control.  If such an event contributed to poor academic performance, a student may ask the College Provost to consider allowing him or her to continue enrollment, in spite of the academic suspension.  A successful appeal does not remove the suspension from the student’s academic record; it does, however, allow the student to continue with classes.

Due to irregular mail delivery to the campus during the Christmas break, Fall semester suspension appeals submitted by US mail might not be processed in time to meet the above deadline.  Appeal requests will not be accepted by email.

In order to provide timely notice of appeal results, students will receive a first notice by email, to be followed with a written verification letter.
