Return to: Admission
Students who withdraw and then want to return to the university within two consecutive terms of the withdrawal date, and who are eligible to return, may email a member of the Academic Advising Team with the request to be reinstated to the program.
Students who withdraw and want to return to the university after two consecutive terms but less than a year from their withdrawal date, and who are eligible to return, may submit an online Petition for Readmission to the Academic Advising Team at least 30 calendar days prior to the first day of the month in which they want to return to their program. If approved, they will be re-enrolled without academic penalty.
Students who want to return to the university more than a year after their withdrawal date, and who are eligible to return, must follow the regular application process. Students being readmitted after more than 1 year must meet the academic degree requirements within the Walden University Catalog under which they are readmitted.
Students who withdraw from the university and then want to be admitted to a new program must follow the regular application process. If readmitted, a student’s prior length of enrollment will count toward the minimum university enrollment and progress standards for the receipt of financial aid.
All prior Walden coursework will be reviewed during the readmission application process.
Students who are dismissed for Code of Conduct violations are not eligible for readmission. Except in cases where students can transfer in an equivalent course, students who are dismissed because they fail two required courses are not eligible for readmission.
Readmission Decisions
The offer of readmission is based on a careful review of the Petition for Readmission or standard application materials and also on a comprehensive assessment of the applicant’s prior academic performance and ability to succeed in the program.
If an offer of readmission is made, the applicant is required to pay the current quarter’s or semester’s tuition and fees, as well as any balance still owed to the bursar’s office at least 15 calendar days before the scheduled start date. Students must also submit all outstanding official transcripts prior to matriculation to the university. The university considers the student officially readmitted on the date specified in the acceptance letter. The offer of readmission remains in effect for 12 months.
If a petition for readmission is denied, the applicant must wait a minimum of 6 months (from the prior readmission request) before applying again for readmission. |
