Academic Advising

Petitioning for academic reinstatement instructions:

Undergraduate students who have been academically dismissed and who wish to return to EWU must petition for academic reinstatement. Before petitioning for academic reinstatement, please review the full Academic Probation, Dismissal and Reinstatement Policy here.

Please be aware, academic reinstatement is different from financial aid reinstatement. Contact the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office directly for information about financial aid reinstatement.

Students academically dismissed for the first time are eligible to petition for academic reinstatement after remaining out of EWU for one academic quarter (Fall, Winter or Spring). Students dismissed for a second time are eligible to petition for reinstatement after remaining out of EWU for one academic year (Fall, Winter, and Spring). A second-time petition should demonstrate your readiness for academic success and reflect a more positive academic position.

To petition for academic reinstatement for Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer quarters, please complete the following:

1. All returning EWU students must reactivate their EWU Email account here.
2. Print and complete the Petition for Academic Reinstatement. Please answer the questions in the space provided on the form.
3. Attach unofficial transcripts for any courses you have attended since you last attended EWU.
4. Attach any documentation that may assist the Academic Reinstatement Committee in making their decision (such as a letter from a doctor or lawyer, or a police report).
5. Students who have been absent from EWU for more than four quarters must apply for re-admission to EWU at the same time they petition for academic reinstatement. Please visit the Admissions Office website for information about applying as a Returning Undergraduate (former EWU student returning).
6. Submit your Petition for Academic Reinstatement and any additional documentation (unofficial transcripts, letters of support) to the appropriate office (see below):
