Administrative Dismissal Policy

Disciplinary Dismissal

A student may be dismissed from Trine University for disciplinary reasons. In such cases and regardless of the timing during a semester, the student is withdrawn from all classes, earns no credits for the semester, and is assigned a grade of “F” for each class. A disciplinary dismissal is final and cannot be erased by withdrawal from the university. Students wishing to return to the university must apply for readmission. Also, the judicial process is under the jurisdiction of the Dean of Students. The student forfeits all tuition and fees for the semester or term regardless of when the sanction is imposed. Financial Aid can be impacted if the student received any Title IV funding that requires enrollment for the entire semester.
