UNIVERSITY POLICY STATEMENT
Eastern Michigan University’s admissions
application and re-enrollment form include questions
regarding prior criminal conviction and/or disciplinary
history, and the information provided by the student
may be considered when making the decision as to
whether to admit or re-enroll the student to the
University.
UNIVERSITY PRACTICE
A student who answers “yes” to the
prior criminal conviction question or the disciplinary
question will submit a statement of explanation. A
review board will review the application, and all
explanatory materials, of any student answering
either of the two questions affirmatively. Prior
to making an admissions or re-enrollment decision,
the review board may request additional materials
from the applicant, conduct a phone interview with
the applicant and/or request that the applicant
appear before the review board to discuss his/her
application.
After considering all information, the review board
will have the authority to make one of the following
decisions, except that the Vice President of Enrollment
Services must approve any decision to deny admission
to the applicant.
- Deny admission or re-enrollment
to the applicant.
- Admit or re-enroll the applicant
on probation but deny the option of
university housing.
- Admit or re-enroll the applicant
on probation and permit the option
of university housing.
- Admit or re-enroll the applicant
without any conditions.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
The Vice President for Enrollment Services is responsible
for the implementation of this policy. The
Director of Admissions, Director of Housing, Dean
of Students, Director of Student Judicial Services
and the Chief of Police, or their respective designees,
will sit on the review committee.
