Undergraduate Readmission Policy
Students who have been away for more than three consecutive academic semesters are readmitted based on the current catalog requirements for the semester they will be resuming their studies. Depending on how long a student has been away, requirements in the academic program of study may have changed.
The readmission application is designed for undergraduate students who were previously registered at ESU, and have been away from ESU for one or more regular academic terms. These students intend to re-enroll at ESU and not to study at another institution during this time.
Students who have been away from ESU for fewer than three semesters may complete a returning student form at https://www.esu.edu/admissions/undergraduate/readmission/index.cfm
Students planning to study or intern abroad, or participate in the International Student Exchange Programs, should schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of International Programs to coordinate this process.
There is no need to apply for readmission if you received an Official Withdrawal (W grades) for the semester prior to the one in which you would like to return to the university.
When to Apply
Former students seeking to be readmitted can apply to be reviewed for the Spring or Fall 2023 semesters. The application is available online at esu.edu/apply. We recommend that you apply well in advance of the semester start to allow time to register for classes and, if applicable, complete the financial aid process, make payments, obtain housing, etc.
