10.3.4 Re-admission/Re-instatement for Interrupted UD Students

  • A student, who has withdrawn or has cancelled his/her registration at UD, may be considered for re-admission upon submitting a formal request to the Registration Department.
  • A student dismissed from UD on academic grounds may be re-admitted into a different program in a field different from the one from which the student is transferring.
  • A student dismissed from UD on disciplinary grounds will not be re-admitted into the university, even as a new student.
  • Applications for undergraduate re-admission may be considered if the period of study interruption does not exceed 7 years (14 regular semesters) from the last registered semester. In such a case, the same ID number will be used. The period of interruption must not exceed three years for graduate programs.
  • If the undergraduate student is re-admitted after a period of less than 7 years of study interruption (or 3 years for graduate students), courses taken at UD will be considered. Courses taken outside UD must have a minimum grade of “C” for undergraduate and “B” for graduate programs to be transferred. (See the Transfer Policy 5.3 for full details).
  • Applications for re-admission after longer study interruption periods (i.e. >7 years) will be treated as new students (with new ID’s) provided that dismissal from previous study was not based on disciplinary grounds. Restrictions on study programs also apply.
  • In the above case, only general UG courses that were taken at UD may be considered if it aligns with the current curriculum, and will be marked as “Exempted”3 as long as the previous grade was at least “C”. Other non-general courses may be considered subject to a challenge exam where the student must score at least 65%. Grades will be reported as “Exempted” in the transcript. Graduate courses are not eligible for consideration.
  • The deadline to receive applications for re-admission is one month prior to the beginning of the intended semester/term.

3With “Exempted” credit hours are counted.
