VIII. Withdrawal from School and Readmission

B. Readmission

  1. Any student who is not enrolled for two or more consecutive terms must apply for readmission. This application, with all the pertinent supporting information (except possibly another college transcript: see 2 below), must be submitted to the registrar before the deadline for the term for which readmission is requested, as listed below:

    Fall-July 1
    Spring-December 1
    Summer-April 1
    Applications received after these deadlines will not be accepted.
  2. Students who have attended other colleges should plan their readmission so as to allow ample time for official transcripts from those colleges to be sent to Georgia Tech. If official transcripts have not been received prior to the last day of registration, the student seeking readmission will not be allowed to complete registration.
  3. Any student in good standing who is not enrolled for a single term will be allowed to re-enroll without applying for readmission to the Institute. There will be no distinction between the terms of the regular academic year and the summer term.
  4. A student who is on academic warning or academic probation who is not enrolled for a single term will have an automatic hold placed on registration that must be cleared by the student's major school. For example, a student is placed on academic probation at the close of fall term and fails to enroll by the close of registration for the spring term. An automatic registration hold will be set, which must be cleared by the major school before the student can register for any future term.
  5. A student who has been dropped once for unsatisfactory scholarship will ordinarily not be readmitted. A student who seeks an exception to this rule must have been out of the Institute for at least one term and have had a conference with the major school concerning the readmission. The readmission application deadline for a student who has been dropped is two months prior to the published readmission deadline for the term.
  6. A student who is dropped a second time for unsatisfactory scholarship will not be readmitted to the Institute.
  7. Any student, except a part-time graduate student, who withdraws during a term and wishes to return the following term must complete a Petition to the Faculty for consideration. This petition must be submitted to the registrar before the deadline for the term for which readmission is requested.
  8. Students may be eligible for academic renewal. See below for more information.

    1. University System of Georgia undergraduate students who have been readmitted or reinstated after a period of absence of five (5) calendar years or longer are eligible for academic renewal. Academic renewal for the student signals the initiation of a new grade point average to be used for determining academic standing. This provision allows University System of Georgia degree-seeking students who earlier experienced academic difficulty to make a fresh start and have one final opportunity to earn an associate or bachelor's degree (BR Minutes, June, 1995, p. 7). The complete policy is available online at: www.usg.edu/academics/handbook/section3/3.16.phtml

    2. The application for academic renewal shall be considered as a petition to the undergraduate curriculum committee.
