There is no fee for this service and we will send them out via US mail within three to five business days from the time the request is received. Our office will verify enrollment for future terms only after the student has registered in classes and has been cleared by the Student Billing Office.
Written appeal for reinstatement as a degree candidate requires submission of a completed Reapplication form, available in the Office of the Registrar, and a payment of a $50.00 reapplication fee by June 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester. Appropriate deans, departmental chairpersons/directors, and the Student Billing Office must endorse the readmission prior to registration. The major department reserves the right to require transcripts, letters of recommendation, an additional portfolio review, or audition. Credit for courses taken seven or more years prior to the date of readmission will be re-evaluated in conjunction with degree programs currently offered. Academic units may choose not to accept courses regardless of when they were completed for credit toward the degree. Final determination on the reapplication will be made by the dean of the college. A decision on readmission applies only to the semester listed on the reapplication. If the student is accepted and does not return for that semester, the student must reapply.
In the event of dismissal, an application for readmission will not be entertained until a full academic year has elapsed. Readmitted students will carry the cumulative GPA that was in place at the completion of the last semester attended at UArts. Please also note that previous censure from the Academic Review Committee will apply to all readmitted students.
