Students with MORE than a 13 month interruption in enrollment

  • If you are ready to return after an interruption of at least four terms, or 13 consecutive months, you will need to apply for readmission as a former student. Regardless of academic standing, you will need to meet re-entry requirements and deadlines and pay the readmission application fee in order to be readmitted and enroll.
  • Former undergraduate students who have questions pertaining to readmission should contact an academic advisor of their intended readmitted major.
