Academic Program Ineligible Students – Summer School at High Point University All students are eligible to enroll in summer school on campus at High Point University. We encourage ineligible students to attend in order to improve their cumulative GPA by retaking courses for which one currently has a deficient grade (C- or below) or taking other required courses, and to improve their chances for being re-admitted to the fall semester. For purposes of re-admission and appeal, the university uses the matrix below to determine if a student has made academic progress during Summer Session I and/ or Summer Session II: Re-Admission GPA Matrix

Readmission Following Short-Term Absence. For undergraduate students who withdraw prior to graduation either during a semester or at the end of a semester and are in good academic standing at the time of the withdrawal, readmission may be sought by contacting the Office of Admissions and requesting an abbreviated readmission form. This process may only be used by students who have not attended any other institution since their last enrollment at High Point University and who have not been away from the University for more than one full semester. Readmission is not guaranteed. Once the application for admission is received, the Office of Student Life, Office of Financial Planning, Office of the University Registrar, Office of Academic Services, and Office of Student Accounts are notified of your request for readmission. Pending the approval of your application by these other offices, your request will then be considered by the Director of Admissions. Students who have been on Study Abroad Hiatus do not need to reapply for admission to the University. Contact the Study Abroad Office for further details.
d) All coursework taken at High Point University will be counted in the determination of academic honors.
Academic Progress Registration Once students are admitted to High Point University by the Director of Admissions, they may proceed to register for course work. Detailed guidelines for the registration process are available from the Office of the University Registrar, but the following general points merit attention here: • Although academic advisors and advising staff in the Office of Academic Services are available to provide guidance during the registration process, the responsibility for arranging schedules to satisfy degree requirements rests with the student. • The State of North Carolina requires that all registered students be immunized according to the public health statutes. In addition, each new student must send to the University Health Center a physician’s certificate stating that the student has had a physical examination and that the student is in good health and fit for participation in the University’s programs. Students not meeting these requirements will not be permitted to continue their enrollment at High Point University.
