Readmission

Readmission 

All students who have officially withdrawn from the university or have canceled their registration at UD, but who wish to be readmitted, must submit a formal request to the Registration Department. If the student gets readmitted within the allowed period, the same ID will be used. A graduate student can hold his/her registration for up to one (1) year (refer to policy EP 3.22 Academic Progress Policy.  However, a dismissed student will not be readmitted to the university, even as a new student. 

1. A student who has withdrawn or has canceled his/her registration at UD, may be considered for readmission upon submitting a formal request to the Registration Department.

2. 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.

3. A student dismissed from UD on disciplinary grounds will not be re-admitted into the university, even as a new student. 

4. Applications for graduate readmission may be considered if the period of study interruption does not exceed 3 years (6 regular semesters) from the last registered semester. In such a case, the same ID number will be used.

5. If the graduate student is readmitted after a period of less than 3 years, courses taken at UD will be considered. Courses taken outside UD must have a minimum grade of “B” for graduate programs to be transferred. (See the Transfer Admissions and Courses Policy S6.3 for full details).

6. Applicants for graduate readmission will need to meet the current program enrollment requirements as well as ensure exams such as the IELTS and English EmSAT tests are still valid. (EmSAT validity lasts 18 months and IELTS and TOEFL in 2 years) 

7. Applications for re-admission after longer study interruption periods (i.e. >3 years) will be treated as new students (with new ID’s) provided that dismissal from previous study was not based on disciplinary grounds. Courses taken previously are not counted towards graduation and must be retaken.

8. The deadline to receive applications for re-admission is one month prior to the beginning of the intended semester/term.
