Readmission to a Degree Program

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

You must apply for readmission if you previously were admitted to an undergraduate program of study at the University and have had a break of at least one regular (Spring or Fall) semester, whether or not you completed the formal withdrawal process. A break in continuous attendance automatically terminates your active student status, so you must readmit to continue toward a degree.

You may seek readmission into a college and/or program different from that which you formerly attended. If you have earned at least 25 credits toward graduation, you may submit your application for readmission directly to the degree-granting college. Readmission is not guaranteed, and students must meet all GPA, course and/or College requirements for the major to which they seek to readmit. Students should contact the College directly for specific readmission requirements.

If you have graduated from the University and want to pursue a second undergraduate degree, you may need to apply for readmission. Students should speak with their Dean’s Office to determine whether readmission is required.

Deadline: Applications for readmission to programs on the traditional calendar must be submitted to the Degree Granting College no later than August 15 for the fall semester, May 10 for the summer semester and December 31 for the spring semester.

Graduate Students

You must apply for reinstatement if you previously were admitted to a graduate degree program of study at the University and have had a break of at least one regular (spring or fall) semester, whether or not you completed the formal withdrawal process. Unless you took an approved leave of absence, a break in continuous attendance automatically terminates your active student status, so you must be reinstated to continue toward a degree.
