Readmission / Reinstatement

Students who have withdrawn from the university and wish to return may obtain an application for readmission/reinstatement from the Office of Admissions or the Office of Student Affairs. Requests are reviewed by the appropriate Dean (readmission) or the Vice President for Student Affairs (reinstatement). Students who withdrew in good standing are generally eligible for reinstatement if space is available in the requested major. Individuals who were required to withdraw for academic reasons are not eligible for consideration until at least one academic semester has elapsed, and should present evidence of successful achievement at another college. The Dean’s office evaluates current academic achievement, potential for academic success, and work experience when reviewing applications for readmission.

Students with a cumulative quality point average of less than 2.00 who have been readmitted to the university may return with their original cumulative academic record or with a readmission petition.

Under the readmission petition, a new quality point average is established from the time of readmission to graduation. The total academic record achieved from the time of initial enrollment at SUNY Fredonia will be entered on the transcript, but no credit will be awarded for “D” grades earned prior to readmission. The cumulative quality point average will reflect only the average since readmission, and a minimum of 45 additional credit hours of graded work must be completed at SUNY Fredonia prior to graduation and after readmission.
