Students seeking to return to the College after a withdrawal, inactive semester, Administrative or Academic Separation or having graduated must contact the Office of Academic Services and Advising to obtain the Readmission Application. Applications for reentry must be received by July 1st for the fall semester and December 1st for the spring semester. Eligibility for readmission is based upon the circumstances of an individual student’s departure from the College and may be granted on a full- or part-time basis. Students must be in good financial standing to be readmitted to the College. The Director of Academic Services and Advising, or designee, bears the responsibility for making final decisions on readmission applications and setting any academic requirements students must meet upon their enrollment.
Students who are on a Medical Withdrawal from the College must notify the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students of their desire to return to the College, specifying in what capacity (full-time, part-time, commuter, resident, etc.). The Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students will advise the potential re-applicants of the steps and requirements associated with a return from a Medical Withdrawal. The Readmission Application process cannot be finalized until the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students has approved a medical clearance to return to the College.
Students who are on a Disciplinary Separation from the College must inform in writing the Director of Community Standards of their intent to return. The Director of Community Standards will advise the potential re-applicants of the steps and requirements associated with a return from a Disciplinary Separation. The Readmission Application process cannot be finalized until the Director of Community Standards has approved a disciplinary clearance to return to the College.
The Office of Academic Services and Advising will provide students with a detailed list of required supporting documentation and steps necessary to complete the readmission process once a Readmission Application has been received. Such documentation may include but is not limited to the following:
1. Academically separated students must satisfy specific academic progress benchmarks as detailed in the letter of Academic Separation;
2. An official transcript of all academic work completed at each college and/or university during the absence;
3. A letter confirming good disciplinary standing from each college and/or university the student has attended during his/her time away;
4. An indication of any follow-up or clearance(s) required by the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students and/or Director of Community Standards; and
5. Readmission cannot be granted until the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students and/or the Director of Community Standards has/have approved a disciplinary clearance to return to the College.
Students who are readmitted after having been withdrawn from the College for fewer than four semesters are typically required to complete the degree requirements in place at the time of their initial admission to the College. Degree eligibility and course requirements for students who have been away from the College for four or more semesters will be determined in consultation with the appropriate Department or Program Chair.
Readmitted students’ probationary status will be the same as that at the time of withdrawal. The Office of Community Standards will notify students individually of any continued disciplinary sanctions or restrictions.
There is no guarantee of either on-campus housing or financial aid for readmitted students.
