Undergraduate Readmission Policy
The readmission application is designed for undergraduate students in good academic standing who decide before the beginning of a semester to take the semester off for personal reasons (financial problems, family or health issues, etc.). These students intend to re-enroll at ESU and not to study at another institution during this time.
Students interested in returning to ESU who have not been enrolled at another institution during their time away from ESU must complete a Readmission Application at esu.edu/apply.
Students who have attended another institution since leaving ESU must complete a transfer student application at esu.edu/apply.
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.
Students are readmitted based on the current catalog requirments for the semester they will be resuming their studies. Depending on how long you have been away, requirements in your program may have changed.
When to Apply
Former students seeking to be readmitted can apply to be reviewed for the Spring (January) or Fall (August) 2018 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.
