You Are Here: Home | Academic Policies & Procedures | Admission | Readmission of Former Students

All students in academic good standing who withdraw voluntarily are eligible to return. A Reentry Form must be filed with the Office of Admissions well in advance of the intended reentry date.

Students not in good standing-who have voluntarily withdrawn or were dismissed for poor academic performance or whose GPA is less than 2.0 (overall and at the University at Buffalo)-must file the Reentry Form and a petition for readmission. The Scholastic Standards Committee will review the requests on the basis of data demonstrating that the students are able to progress satisfactorily toward the completion of their degree programs. Information about Fresh Start, UB's academic forgiveness policy, can be found in the Grading section of this catalog.

Scholarship Reactivation

Students in academic good standing who resign from the university for a semester or school year must file a Re-Entry Form with the Office of Admissions to request readmission. State scholarship holders must apply for a Leave of Absence Form from the Regents Examination and Scholarship Center, State Education Department, Albany, NY 12224, before discontinuing attendance.
