Applying for Readmission

How do I apply for readmission?

Visit Undergraduate Admissions for information regarding readmission requirements and deadlines.

Academic Standing After Readmission

What is my status when I return to TTU?

Readmission decisions are determined by the student's Academic Dean. You will not have a new Academic Standing status until coursework is completed that may be considered. If you are approved for readmission following completion of the suspension term, you are reinstated and eligible to attend courses and participate in all extracurricular activities as governed by the rules of the specific activity and subject to the conditions established by the Academic Dean or committee granting permission to attend classes.

If readmitted, you must follow the Advising and Registration requirements for Academic Warning or Probation status, as appropriate based upon your status when you left the institution.

Withdrawing After Readmission

What if I withdraw during the term I have been readmitted?

If a student withdraws during the term for which they were readmitted, the following guidelines apply:

Students returning from good standing, warning or probation

Students returning from suspension or dismissal

A student who returns following a suspension or dismissal should demonstrate a commitment to success and progression toward completion of a degree.
