Re-entry/Dismissal Petition 3.5

Counselors should be familiar with the section of the catalog that details our policy on Probation and Dismissal. It is listed in the catalog under "Dismissal". Often, if a student is being blocked from registration, they may be on either academic or progress dismissal. To verify if a student is on some form of dismissal, go to the PERC screen and enter the student ID or name. If it lists Academic or Progress Dismissal, and there is no end date listed, the student is on dismissal.

Counselors are a part of the re-entry process for dismissed students. We help the student identify issues that may have contributed to their earlier lack of success, and then identify what interventions can be implemented to improve the situation. Counselors can make recommendations such as tutoring, follow-up counseling appointments, a reduced units load, or study skills classes.

Reinstatement without petition:

If the student has sat out at least one semester (the one you’re in at the time or a previous semester with good progress since the return), you can simply put an end date for that dismissal in PERC. In this case no petition paperwork is needed.

Reinstatement with petition:

 

If the student has the dismissal hold (no end date in PERC), has not sat out for the required semester and wants to continue without sitting out a semester, we need to work with the student on the Petition for Reinstatement.

 

PROCESS FOR REINSTATEMENT PETITION:         

  1. we can now immediately put the end date in PERC. It is best to back-date the end date by one day. This will allow the student to register immediately.
  2. advise the student the current hold has been removed.
  3. submit the petition to Jay or send it to Jay via the counseling division office.
  4. Jay will sign and give to A & R for filing.
PERC instructions:
            1. Type PERC and Enter
            2. Type Student's Name, SS3, or ID# and Enter
            3. Hit F5 to get to the window of the dismissal that is active. The active dismissal is the one that has no end date. When you put an end date, it removes the student from dismissal
            4. Once you're on the dismissal that is active, hit return 3 times to get to "end date".
            5. Type today's date, or better yet, back date it by one day.
            6. (OPTIONAL - you can hit F2 to detail in to a comment screen if you want to make notes).
            7. F9 and Enter to finish.

              The Pre-approval End Date (PA):

               

              If you can anticipate that the student will be placed on or still be on Academic/Progress Dismissal once grades for the current term are posted, you can enter PA in PERC (go to PERC, return down to an empty line, type “PA” and return). Once the PA is in PERC, any upcoming dismissal for that term will automatically be cleared.
