A student placed under academic suspension after the summer term cannot enroll in courses at Lyon College during the following fall term. 

To return to Lyon College after a suspension period, the student must first notify the Admissions office prior to the deadline for depositing for that semester. In the first term after a suspension period, the student must earn at least a 2.00 term GPA. In the second term after a suspension period, the student’s cumulative GPA must meet the minimums stated above based on the total credit hours completed. Failure to meet either of these conditions will result in the student being permanently suspended from Lyon College with no option for readmission.

Students who are placed into them must earn a grade of "C" or better in ENG 001, ENG 101, ENG 102, MTH 001, MTH 003, MTH 101, MTH 103, MTH 105, and the first semester (101) of a foreign language to satisfy proficiency requirements. Students who either drop or earn a grade of less than a "C" in these courses must repeat the courses immediately in the following regular semester.   Students who are unsuccessful after three attempts in any proficiency course or developmental course will be placed on academic suspension. On returning from academic suspension, the student must receive a C or better in their proficiency course(s) or they will be dismissed from Lyon College.
