Readmission procedure

Readmission to the College of the Environment and Life Science

A readmitting student is one who has had a break of at least two regular (fall or spring) semesters. Such a break in continuous attendance automatically terminates a student’s active status, necessitating readmission in order to continue toward a degree. Additionally, students who graduate from the University and wish to pursue a second undergraduate degree must apply for readmission, even if there has been no break in continuity of attendance.

You must submit official transcripts of all academic work taken at other institutions since your last attendance at the University before a decision will be made on your application for readmission. These transcripts should be sent to the college into which you are seeking readmission. A decision on your application will not be made until these transcripts are received and evaluated.


Application deadline

August 15 for the fall semester

December 31 for the spring semester
