About the Admission Petition Process
Transfer and returning students who do not meet established admission criteria must petition for admission by completing an academic petition process.
Any student who was disciplinarily dismissed from a college or university or expelled from high school must petition for admission by completing a non-academic petition process. Additionally, any student convicted of a felony must petition for admission by completing the non-academic petition process.
You must complete the academic petition process if:
- you have less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA (4.0 scale) from the last institution at which you attempted 12 quarter hours (9 semester hours).
- you were dismissed from Wright State.
- you have less than 2.0 cumulative GPA from a college/university since you last enrolled at Wright State.
- you were dismissed from a college or university for academic reasons (If you were dismissed/suspended, you are ineligible to apply for admission for one calendar year from the date of your dismissal/suspension).
Next Steps:
