Decisions
Students applying for readmission are notified of the graduate program’s decision to admit or deny by letter. The graduate adviser may place conditions on the readmission, and is responsible for notifying the student of the conditions.
Students who left while subject to a warning must have the approval of the graduate dean to return.
Continuous Registration
Doctoral candidates who fail to register continuously and who have not been granted a leave of absence must be readmitted to candidacy as well as to the graduate program. The Graduate Studies Committee and the graduate dean must approve readmission to candidacy and may impose additional coursework.
