Steps

  1. All Account Services holds must be paid BEFORE you can begin the process. As long as you do not have any Account Services holds, you may begin the petition process. Complete Parts 1 (Basic Information) and 2 (typed letter) of the Petition for Early Readmission After Suspension. Wintersession is not an option.

  2. Call your academic advisor to schedule a meeting.

  3. Take the petition and your letter to the meeting with your advisor. If approved, your advisor will sign the form and help you create the schedule for Part 3. If you have been placed on Financial Aid Suspension, you will also need to complete a SAP appeal in eForms (MyState).

  4. Once you have the approval of your academic advisor, you will need to schedule a meeting with the dean of your academic college. Please note: this is NOT Dr. Thomas Bourgeois.

  5. If the dean signs and approves your petition, you must call 662-325-7228 to schedule a meeting with Mrs. Drake. YOU MUST HAVE ALL SIGNATURES REQUIRED FIRST.

The petition deadline for fall-suspended students to have all five steps completed for spring participation is January 10th, 2024, at noon. Students suspended at the end of the fall term may not enroll in Wintersession. If you are a distance student, please reach out to Mrs. Drake at 662-325-7228 to request the distance petition. In order to participate in the distance course, your campus must show Online Education.
