Readmission Following Withdrawal
Students who wish to be considered for readmission must formally apply to the Office of the Dean of the College no later than Nov. 1 (for the second semester) or April 1 (for the first semester) and inform their academic dean of their intent to return. In all cases of readmission, the burden is on the student to initiate the application process (supplemented by supporting evidence where required), to make the appropriate financial arrangements with the accounting office, and to forward housing requests (dormitory or off-campus) to the director of Residential Education and Living.
In cases of voluntary withdrawal, the student must demonstrate readiness to resume full-time studies and must summarize in a letter to the former academic dean any activities since last enrolled in the College.
Students who have been advised to withdraw or directed to withdraw for academic reasons will under no circumstances be considered for readmission without a full statement of the interim activity as well as evidence of growth in personal maturity and capacity for further academic work. Carefully composed letters, supplemented by relevant supporting material, should be sent to the dean, who will present the case to the Committee on Academic Standing.
A student placed on directed withdrawal for reasons other than academics who subsequently petitions the College to return will be required to demonstrate that the circumstances that led to the leave have been addressed and resolved, as outlined in the notice of directed withdrawal. The student is permitted to return upon the end of the designated period, subject only to any conditions or restrictions outlined and agreed to prior to the withdrawal. Each circumstance may have a different set of procedures depending on the type of directed withdrawal. The Dean of the College, the Dean of Students, or the Dean of the College in consultation with appropriate College staff, will review requests to return to campus and clarify the process for return.
