Readmission to the University is necessary for formerly matriculated students who have separated from the University because of an expired temporary academic leave, graduation, or academic dismissal. The readmission process must be completed for you to be matriculated.
Readmitted students are matriculated under the current catalog and are required to meet degree and program requirements in place at the time of readmission.

READMISSION FOR SECOND DEGREE

READMISSION AFTER ACADEMIC DISMISSAL
Students who have been academically dismissed from the University may apply for readmission at least two academic semesters following their dismissal.

In addition to the Readmission Application, applicants must submit a personal statement addressing:

- Changes made to ensure their success if offered readmission
Please be aware that students can only be readmitted once following an academic dismissal.
