Readmission

Students who have previously attended NLU, but have been away from the University for five calendar years or longer, must submit a new Admissions Application, including all documents and transcripts required for admission.  

The following rules apply to readmission:

  • 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 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-admission and submit personal statement with two letters of recommendation to the Admission’s Office for further review by the program chair and related college committee.
  • Students are subject to degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission, see the Catalog of Entrance policy
