Re-entry
Students who have previously attended NLU, but have been away from the University for one calendar year or longer, but fewer than five calendar years, must submit a Returning Student Form.
The following rules apply to re-entry:
- Students return with the same academic status as when they left
- Students who were dismissed for reasons of academic ineligibility may apply for reinstatement after two quarters of non-enrollment. Petition for reinstatement should be directed to the Office of the Registrar who will forward the petition to the governance unit designated by the respective college to deal with student appeals.
- Students who weren’t dismissed but return with a GPA lower than the minimum required by the program need to petition for re-entry and submit personal statement with two letters of recommendation to the Office of the Registrar for further review by the program chair and related college committee.
- Students are subject to degree requirements in effect at the time of re-entry, see the Catalog of Entrance policy
- Students must submit official transcripts of any college work taken since leaving NLU
