※ Note
- As the College of Law no longer exists, students who were formerly associated with that college may apply to be readmitted into the Department of Public Administration in the College of Social Sciences.
- Students who return in a given semester must register for the entirety of that semester and pay the readmission fee. (Students who had left school due to military enlistment, without taking a proper military leave of absence, do not have to pay the readmission fee.)
- Students who are readmitted cannot take a leave of absence during their first semester after readmission, except for a military or sick leave.
- As individual departments have been handling undergraduate degrees and requirements since 2012, students must check the current status and affiliation of their respective majors and fill out their readmission application forms based on the requirements of their respective departments. (E.g., Students who had been majoring in mathematics in the Department of Mathematics, College of Natural Sciences, before their expulsion now need to apply to return to the mathematics major in the Department of Mathematics, College of Natural Sciences.)
- When deemed necessary by individual departments, students’ readmission may be delayed depending on the number of semesters they had completed and the number of credits they had obtained prior to leaving school.
