Russia proposes five-year readmission ban for students expelled for discipline
Russia plans to bar some expelled students from returning to the same university for five years.
The proposal comes from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and is set out in a draft order.
The ban would apply only to students expelled as a disciplinary sanction, not to all students who leave a university.
Disciplinary grounds can include breaking a university’s rules on conduct, classes or dormitories.
Students on sick, vacation, academic or maternity leave, and students with disabilities, are exempt from disciplinary measures.
The five-year period would begin on the date of expulsion, and the order is expected to take effect on March 1, 2027.
