Returning and Undergraduate Reenrollment

Please scroll to the bottom of the page to access the Reenrollment Application.

Undergraduate Reenrollment Policy

Students who leave ݮƵ because of academic failure are reenrolled through the Office of the Registrar. Eligibility to return is determined by the Chair of the Committee on Academic Standing. In order to return, students must take enough courses at another accredited college to raise their cumulative quality point average to the level required for the number of credits they have attempted:

Students who withdraw from the college in good academic, financial and disciplinary standing also may be reenrolled through the Office of the Registrar depending upon their choice of major, either former or new, and the availability of space. Students absent five years or more will be subject to current course and other applicable requirements for their intended major, former or new, as well as current Common Core requirements, and space availability, as determined by the Registrar.

Students who have been withdrawn or dismissed by the University for disciplinary, financial, or other non-academic reasons may not re-enter until the reenrollment conditions established at the time of withdrawal have been met.  Students who are seeking reenrollment should inform the Office of the Registrar as early as possible prior to their return in order to facilitate course placement.

Please read the information below and each question of the Reenrollment Application carefully.

Some questions require additional documents to be submitted or actions to be completed. It is the responsibility of the student to provide all required documents, clear any outstanding holds, and complete all required actions for Reenrollment to WSU. Failure to complete all requirements prior to the deadline for each semester will result in the denial of your Reenrollment for the semester.
