Re-enrollment
Re-enrollment allows a former degree candidate (policy 58-00) to resume degree candidacy. Re-enrollment is appropriate if you:
- Withdrew from the University
- Interrupted continuous degree enrollment during fall/spring semester
- Were dismissed or suspended for nonacademic reasons
- Invalidated a leave of absence
- Plan to return for a second associate or baccalaureate degree
- Plan to return for graduation
- Voluntarily changed your enrollment status to nondegree
Students who left in good standing and who are re-enrolling in their previous major (providing the major is not controlled) will be approved to re-enroll. Every re-enrollment request will be reviewed and a status report will be returned to the student.
Process:
- Complete the Re-enrollment Form and return it to the campus Registrar at the campus you plan to enroll.
- A $20 non-refundable re-enrollment fee is required to initiate the request.
- Checks should be made payable to Penn State. Returned checks due to insufficient funds will result in a service charge of $10.00.
- The campus Registrar will notify you of the decision regarding your request.
Re-enrollment for Graduation
If you are planning to graduate during the current semester you must contact your college dean's office at least one month before the end of classes to be certain you have fulfilled all requirements and to be added to the graduation list.
Re-enrollment Exception for Adult Learners
An adult learner who wants to return to the University after a period of non-enrollment does not need to follow the re-enrollment procedures if all of the following criteria apply:
- the period of non-enrollment has been less than three years,
- the student is seeking entrance to a major in which they were previously enrolled, and
- the requested major is authorized to be eligible for this exception.
The adult learner who does not meet the above criteria must apply for re-enrollment.
