Disciplinary History

Westminster College reviews all applications for admission holistically. Self-disclosure of school disciplinary or criminal history information does not automatically result in a denial of admission to the college. Additional clarifying information may be requested when a candidate self-discloses school disciplinary or criminal history information. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions with questions regarding self-disclosure of disciplinary or criminal history information.

If an academic program requires a background check as part of the application process this will be disclosed on the program website.

3. We know that you've had at least two unsuccessful semesters. Please tell us about that. What impacted your academic success?*

4. Describe a plan for academic success. If you are readmitted, what will be different next semester and what resources will you use to support your success?*

You may wish to talk about changing your major, tutoring, mental health counseling, disability services, a change in studying environment/roommate, etc. We expect that students will need to change something significant after at least two unsuccessful semesters, so please consider this carefully. A change in motivation or effort is not sufficient. Text BoxThink about your most successful academic courses/moments, even if they were a while ago. What made them successful? How is that missing now and what can you do to reclaim it?

5. When students are academically suspended, our policy requests that students take at least one semester off. If you are appealing without taking time off, please explain why you're ready to return. If you did take some time off, please explain what you did, what you learned, and why you're ready to return now.*

Review

By submitting this application, I certify that all of the information provided is my own work, factually true, and honestly presented. I understand that I may be subject to a range of possible disciplinary actions, including admission revocation or expulsion, should the information I certified be false.

I understand that I am responsible for arranging for the forwarding of official transcripts from schools I have attended and that such transcripts become the property of Westminster College and will not be returned. I authorize all schools attended to release all requested records and authorize review of my application.

I understand that an offer of admission is conditional, pending receipt of final transcripts showing work comparable in quality to that upon which the offer was based.
