    Please ensure that on page three, under Enrollment Information, you select the Readmitted Application Type.

    • Official transcript(s) from high schools (if final transcripts were not previously submitted) or other colleges must be sent directly from the institution. If sent electronically, they must be sent through: Clearinghouse, GAfutures, Parchment, Scribbles, or SCOIR.

Returning After Academic Dismissal

Students who are returning from academic dismissal must reapply to the University. Reinstatement is not automatic when completing the required semesters away. 

When are you eligible to return? 

  • After the first academic dismissal, a student may be considered for readmission after an absence of one semester.  
  • After the second academic dismissal, a student may be considered for readmission after an absence of one calendar year from the end of the semester for which the second dismissal occurred.  
  • After the third academic dismissal, the student will no longer be eligible for readmission.  

Any exceptions to this policy must be appealed and approved by the Academic Standing Committee per BOR Policy Manual, Section 6.26. Information on academic appeals is available through the Office of the Registrar website. 

Steps to reapply include: 

    • Submit your application via GAfutures and $40 application fee online by the appropriate deadline for your desired semester of entry.
