A student can always earn credits at a community college while they are on academic suspension then transfer them to their home school after they return.
True
False
False: Every college has different academic suspension policies, and some will allow students to earn transferrable credits elsewhere during this time, but others will not. Students need to check their home school’s policies since some will specify that they may not take classes during a suspension period then transfer the credits.
Question 2
A student can appeal a suspension decision, and if they win they can permanently remain at their school.
True
False
False: While a student can appeal an academic suspension, even if they win they are at risk of being placed on suspension again due to poor performance. Winning an appeal does not guarantee the student can permanently stay at their school.
Question 3
If a student wants to return after an academic suspension they may have to submit a written plan of action describing how they will improve.

Question 5

True
