You Are Considered a Returning Student If…

You were enrolled at the 鶹ý as a degree-seeking student and meet any of the following criteria:

You left in academic eligible status, academic review status, or academic warning status and have missed more than two regular consecutive semesters.

You left in academic probation status or ineligible status and have missed at least one semester.

You withdrew and received “WC” grades and more than two consecutive semesters have passed since your withdrawal.

You dropped all of your classes and no grades appear on your record for that semester.

You are a graduating student, or have already graduated, and wish to continue as a degree-seeking student.

Before You Begin

You may register for classes without reapplying if you were enrolled last semester, then withdrew and received grades of “WC” or you did not receive a 100% refund.

Did you leave in eligible, academic review, or academic warning status within the last two semesters? Check to see if you qualify for Back2UA.
