A readmitting student is one who has had a break of at least two regular (Fall or Spring) semesters. Such a break in continuous attendance automatically terminates a student's active status, necessitating readmission in order to continue toward a degree.
Additionally, students who graduate from the University and wish to pursue a second undergraduate degree must apply for readmission, even if there has been no break in continuity of attendance.
A readmitting student may seek readmission into a college and/or program different from that formerly attended. In such a case, the student should direct the application to the dean of the college in which admittance is sought. Students formerly in University College who have earned at least 25 credits toward graduation may submit their application for readmission directly to the degree-granting college.
You may apply either by mail or in person. If applying by mail, please complete the application and return to:
Dean's Office
College of Arts & Sciences,
Chaffee Hall, Kingston RI 02881
