Readmission to Walsh College

Students who have not enrolled in any courses for 12 consecutive calendar months (based on the last semester attended, as indicated on the student's Walsh College transcript) must reapply for admission. Upon reapplication, all previous coursework will be evaluated based on current:

Admission requirements
Required coursework and acceptable transfer equivalencies
Minimum grade requirements for transfer and graduation

Note: Time limits for course eligibility and transferability may apply as determined by each academic department.

Catalog and Program Requirements

Readmitted students are held to the degree requirements of the Catalog year in effect at the time of readmission.
Students may only be readmitted to programs that are currently active.
Credit for previously completed Walsh College coursework may be granted, but students must complete their program within a maximum of 60 months from their initial start date at Walsh College.
The transcript of a readmitted student will reflect all courses taken, attempted credit hours, and grades earned while enrolled at Walsh College.

Special Consideration for Veterans

Veteran students who were deployed, or their dependents, may petition to be readmitted under the same academic program and graduation criteria that were in effect at the time of deployment. Requirements include:

Submission of deployment documentation (including length of deployment)
Contacting admissions@walshcollege.edu to submit documentation

Refer to Military Orders for specific information on readmittance.

Readmission for Students on Academic Probation or Dismissal

Students who have been academically dismissed or placed on academic probation must meet with an academic advisor to assess eligibility for readmission. All prior academic and conduct records will be reviewed and may result in denial of readmission. Please refer to the Academic Standing Policy for more information.

Readmission after Academic Dismissal

Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programs

After a minimum of one year (12 consecutive calendar months), students who were academically dismissed may be eligible for readmission.

Conditions for Readmission:

The student’s GPA must allow for the possibility of achieving satisfactory academic standing within three consecutive semesters.
An academic advisor will define the minimum grade per course required for the student to regain satisfactory standing within that period.
Prior coursework will be evaluated for applicability to the new academic program.

Academic Record and Requirements:

All prior coursework, grades, and academic standing notations will remain on the student’s transcript.
Readmitted students must follow the academic program in effect at the time of readmission.
Students may be allowed to take more than one course per semester if approved, with required grades and course load determined jointly with the academic advisor.

Progress Monitoring:

Failing to meet minimum grade requirements in any semester will trigger recalculation of required grades.
Failure to achieve satisfactory standing within the set timeframe may result in a second and final dismissal.

Final Dismissal:

A second academic dismissal is final; students are not eligible for further readmission.
Dismissed students will be contacted by the Registrar, administratively dropped from all courses, and issued a full refund (tuition and fees).

Doctoral Program Readmission After Dismissal

Students academically dismissed from a doctoral program may be eligible for readmission after 12 consecutive calendar months. Students must:

Contact the doctoral program director for a review and approval process.
Be evaluated based on Walsh College’s academic standing policy and any applicable doctoral-specific criteria.

Financial Aid Considerations

In addition to Walsh College’s academic standing policies, the Financial Aid Office enforces a separate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy for students receiving federal financial aid. Please refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients section of the Academic Catalog for detailed information.
