From time to time it becomes necessary and desirable to suspend admissions to an academic program while it is being revised, restructured, or slated for discontinuation. This step helps to reduce the number of new students who may be subject to old requirements, for whom "teach out" plans would need to be developed to ensure that they are able to complete the program to which they were admitted.

Faculty considering such actions must follow the campus guidelines and policy, which was created to protect the interest of students who may be enrolled in programs slated for closure or reformulation. If suspension of admissions or program closure may be on the horizon, it is important to consult with your Associate Dean and the Assistant Dean for Academic Planning. L&S staff will consult with relevant campus partners on timing, considerations, and process.
