Reenrollment/Readmission Policy for Students Who Withdraw from the University Voluntarily

1. For Students in Academic Good Standing

1. Previously matriculated undergraduate students who have registered for classes in at least one of the two previous regular academic semesters can re-enroll for courses by contacting their department for advising and an alternate PIN number.
    
2. Undergraduate students who have withdrawn from the university voluntarily or who have not been enrolled in the previous two or more regular academic semesters must submit an online application for re-enrollment. Applications may be submitted up to one week prior to the start of the semester for which the student wishes to return.  After processing the application, the student will be sent information regarding registration.
    

2. For Students Not in Academic Good Standing

Students not in academic good standing must submit an online application for re-enrollment consideration. Applications may be submitted up to two weeks prior to the start of the semester for which the student wishes to return. An Academic Standards Officer will review the application and make a decision on the student’s eligibility to return. If approved, the student will be sent information regarding registration. 

If the student is seeking admission to a new college, the Academic Standards Officer of the new college will consult the Academic Standards Officer of the former college before making a decision.
 

3. For Students Who Have Been Involuntarily Withdrawn from the University

Please see IUP’s Involuntary Withdrawal Policy and its readmission process for information:

4. Procedures

1. To return to the university, log into MyIUP and select “Academics.” You will find “Apply for Re-enrollment to IUP” in the “Academic Record” portlet. Complete and submit the form. If you don’t have a MyIUP account, claim your account to get MyIUP access. (Note: If you last attended prior to fall 2000, complete a paper Application for Re-enrollment: www.iup.edu/registrar/forms.)  For more information on IUP’s re-enrollment/readmission procedures, please access the Registrar’s website at: www.iup.edu/registrar/policies/readmission-procedures/
    
2. Separate from the re-enrollment/readmission process, a returning student may be required to address outstanding holds of any kind before being allowed to register for classes.
    
3. Some programs may have enrollment restrictions that affect re-entry. Check with the dean’s office of the college housing the major.
    
4. Applications for students seeking to change their major will be forwarded to the Academic Standards Officer of the college of the requested major. A change of major request will be initiated on the student’s behalf.   If approved, the Office of the Registrar will officially change the major while reactivating the student account for registration.  
    
5. Students who want to be considered for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine their financial aid eligibility.  Eligibility will be based on financial need, as determined by the FAFSA, and on prior academic record.
    
6. Returning students who have not been enrolled for two years or more may petition their college dean for application of the Canceled Semester Policy , which provides for cancellation from the cumulative record of the effects of one semester below a GPA of 2.0. Students who have been separated from the university for two consecutive calendar years may petition their college dean to return under the Fresh Start Policy . Students must pay fees and attend classes before a designated semester will be cancelled or the Fresh Start Policy will take effect. Details regarding these policies can also be found in the University Policies  section in the Undergraduate Catalog.
