Suspension is the likely consequence of flagrantly or persistently unsatisfactory scholarship. A student must leave campus within 48 hours of being notified of the Suspension and may not return to campus without prior permission from the appropriate dean. Students under suspension may not participate in College academic or extracurricular activities; may not remain in College or coed, fraternity, sorority housing; and may not progress toward completion of their Dartmouth degrees by taking courses at other institutions while under suspension. Readmission following suspension is not automatic and must be by application to the Dean's Office. Readmission will normally occur only after an absence of three terms.
A student in satisfactory standing will be suspended if he or she receives two grades of D and one grade of E (or NC) or at least two grades of E (or NC) in one term.
