I.
What is the Alternative Readmission Program and Who is Eligible to
Use It?
The Alternative Readmission Program offered through the NCSU Counseling
Center is a voluntary process and is one option for readmission
to the university following a FIRST suspension for academic reasons.
Students
who have received a SECOND Notice of Academic Suspension ARE NOT
eligible for the Alternative Readmission Process through the
Counseling Center.
These students may choose to go through the process of a petition
through the Admissions
Committee.

III. How Does the Alternative Readmission Program Work?
The Alternative Readmission Program is done through the NCSU
Counseling Center. You will work with a counselor (who
will be assigned to you when you schedule your appointment) who
will evaluate some information, much of it provided by you, and
will perform a Psychoeducational Assessment (or this
person
will serve as a contact for an off campus provider to
do this work, if you choose this option – more information
follows in section VIII).

IV. How Do I Use the Alternative Readmission Program if that
is the Option I Choose?
This process entails several steps.
- If you would like to complete the Psychoeducational Assessment with a counselor
at the Counseling Center, download the Student Questionnaire form from our
website, or call the Counseling Center (919-515-2423) to request the appropriate
form.

- Complete the Student Questionnaire, which asks a
variety of short answer questions to help the Counseling Center Counselor
more efficiently determine areas that are most important
in your
particular case.
- Send your completed Student Questionnaire
to the Counseling Center. You may drop these off
in person between 8am and 5pm (2nd Floor, Room 2401, of the Student
Health
Services Building), or you may mail the forms to: NCSU Counseling
Center, Box 7312, Raleigh, NC 27695, ATTN: Alternative Readmission
Program,
or you may fax them to the Center at 919-515-8525
ATTN: ARP.
- Call the Counseling
Center back to be scheduled with a counselor. You are
responsible for following-up on your paperwork and scheduling your
appointment.
You may only make an appointment for your assessment
AFTER your
paperwork has been received and processed by the office.
Immediate appointments
are very rarely possible, so please send in your paperwork
well
before the deadline.

V. What are the Deadlines for the Alternative Readmission Program?
ALL first time suspended students must take a mandatory minimum
one-semester break We encourage students interested in using
the Alternative Readmission Program to begin the process
as early as possible. Deadlines are:
| Semester of Readmission: |
Appointment Scheduled by: |
Process Completed by: |
| |
| Spring |
August 15th |
October 20th |
| Fall |
May 1st |

Students who miss the deadlines should
ask to speak to one of the program administrators to determine
their options, but it is possible that missing a deadline would result
in
the student having to wait an additional semester to re-enroll.

VI. What Happens After the Assessment is Completed?
When all required aspects of the assessment are completed,
the Counselor will provide verification to the Registration
and Records
Office so that your readmission can be processed. When
they have obtained your verification, fee, and readmission
paperwork you will be able to receive your registration
PIN number, if you are eligible to return the next semester
(you have already
remained out of school for the mandatory one semester break).
To remain re-enrolled, Students MUST:
- Meet with your Academic Advisor to work on your
academic plan or Registration and Records may cancel your registration.
- Register
for
NO MORE than 14 credit hours in any semester
while they are under the Alternative Readmission Program.
- Obtain a minimum of 2.5 GPA in each semester of their
return if their overall GPA is not high enough to be automatically
eligible to continue enrolling.

VII. What About My Privacy/Confidentiality?
Except in rare situations (e.g., when someone is in danger),
the personal information you supply the Counseling Center
on your Questionnaire sheets and during your meeting(s) will remain
confidential. The information that is released to Registration
and Records is only about your compliance with and completion
of the process, and is not detailed or of a personal nature.
If you have any concerns about confidentiality or about what
will be released to others, please discuss these with your
Counselor during your meeting.

VIII. Can I have the Assessment Done Off-Campus?
If you would like to participate in the Alternative Readmission
Program, but live far from Raleigh and it would be difficult
for you to come to NCSU for the assessment(s), or you would
prefer to have it done privately, you may be able to have
the assessment done by a professional outside of the university
(e.g., one who is closer to your current location or one
who is already familiar with your circumstances). The person conducting
the assessment must be a counselor, psychologist, or social
worker who is licensed and is not related to you by blood
or
marriage.
- Download the following form and provide it to the professional who will
be completing the assessment.

- This professional should contact the NCSU Counseling Center PRIOR to
conducting the assessment to obtain the required information needed
to complete the assessment adequately.
- Once the professional completes the assessment and recommendations,
the summary will need to be forwarded to the Counseling
Center by the deadline listed above in section V for one of the
program administrators to sign and submit to the appropriate person
(this will require you to sign a release for us and for
Registration and Records).
If the NCSU Counseling Center is not satisfied
with the assessment, needs further data, or feels alternative
recommendations are important, you will be contacted, as
may the professional who issued the assessment. Assessments conducted
off-campus are subject to our approval. That is why it
is very important that the professional performing an off-campus assessment
obtains the necessary documents and instructions PRIOR
to
performing
the assessment, so that we can do our best in expressing
what is necessary for the assessment to be considered complete.
