Instructions for Completing a Resumption of Study

1.  Students in Good Academic and Judicial Standing:

Students who have officially withdrawn or who have not attended the College for a period of one year or more (two consecutive semesters, summer sessions are not included) must complete an Application for Resumption of Undergraduate Study. This application should be brought first to the Office of Academic Advising. Students in good academic standing (with a GPA of 2.0 or above, and no judicial or other holds on their account) will be officially resumed and assigned an advisor.

2.  Students not in Good Academic Standing:

Students may not be in good standing because of an academic or judicial dismissal. If the dismissal is academic, it is binding for a period of at least one year. Students who have been academically dismissed (or who have GPA below 2.0) and wish to resume study at the College must:

a.  Complete the Application for Resumption of Undergraduate Study form. This application should be brought first to the Office of Academic Advising.

b.  Provide evidence of likelihood of success. Evidence may include such documentation as a letter of recommendation from an employer, or a transcript indicating successful completion of course work at another college.

c.  Make an appointment with the appropriate dean (see phone numbers below) in order to request re-admittance to the College. The dean reserves the right to determine whether evidence presented in support of resumption indicates probable success.
