Policy of Admissions Suspension or Felony Disclosure Policy
EMU is committed to working with students who disclose suspensions or felonies through the application process while simultaneously maintaining a safe, caring, and collaborative campus environment. When a prospective student discloses a suspension or felony on their application, the EMU Admissions Committee, Student Life, and Campus Safety, complete a holistic review of application materials to discern the best appropriate care for the student and EMU community. Important elements of this review may include inviting the student applicant to offer additional context for the incident/conviction and submitting documentation from other community or school officials to support holistic goals of the applicant.
Procedure for Application Suspension Disclosure
If a student discloses a non-violent suspension in which the suspension occurred five years or more from the date of the application submission, the Director of Admissions admits the student without any additional material request.
For any suspension disclosure that involves violence or the threat of violence, the Director of Admissions shares the application file with the Campus Safety Manager for review with the Threat Assessment Team. The Threat Assessment Team will complete its review within 7 working days of receipt, and will give the Director of Admissions a recommendation regarding admission.
If the suspension is within two years of their application, the Director of Admissions shares the application file with the VP of Student Affairs/Dean of Students for review to assess CARE Team support.
In consultation with the CARE Team, VP of Student Affairs/Dean of Students either approves/denies admission without more materials or makes a request of a personal statement using the prompts below. Three potential admissions decisions include: Admitted, Admitted with CARE Team support, Denied.
The Director of Admissions and the Admissions Counselor facilitate the receipt of additional information.
After review of additional information, the VP of Student Affairs/Dean of Students provides admissions decisions to the Director of Admissions. The Director of Admissions communicates this decision to the applicant.

High School Preparation for College
Students completing the college preparatory program of study in their high school will be best prepared for college. Typically, students take four units of English, three of math, three of science, three of social studies, and two or more of foreign language. Chemistry is essential for students who plan to enter the nursing program. Students accepted into EMU who have not completed their high school's college preparatory program should give special consideration to their course selection with their first-year advisor.
Admissions Decisions and Continuance of Admissions Status
The Admission Decision
The receipt of an application by the admissions office is acknowledged by letter, email, or phone call. An admission decision is considered when the file is complete with all requested information. The applicant will be notified of delays in receiving necessary information. A letter of admission or a letter of denial will be sent to the student within seven days after a decision has been made.
Appealing the Admission Decision
Any applicant who is denied admission, or who is granted conditional admission may appeal that decision by filing a written request for review to the director of Admissions within 10 days of being notified of the decision. The student should include with that request any additional supporting information not previously available, particularly information of an academic nature.
The Admissions Committee will consider the appeal and report its decision to the student in writing within 30 days of the receipt of the request.
Any student who chooses to go beyond the first appeal must direct a second appeal in writing to the Vice President for Enrollment and Strategic Growth and the Provost’s office within ten days of receiving the committee's decision on the first appeal.
