Drexel University Readmission Process

If you've previously attended Drexel University, you may need to apply for readmission in order to enroll in our online programs.
How do I know whether I need to apply for readmission?
You need to apply for readmission if you meet any of the following criteria:
- I was academically dismissed, not reinstated, and did not return for four or more consecutive quarters/three or more semesters*
- I took a leave of absence for four or more quarters/three or more semesters
- I have not registered for courses or been enrolled for four or more consecutive quarters/three or more consecutive semesters (one full academic year)
You do NOT need to apply for readmission if you meet any of the following criteria:
- I did not officially withdraw from Drexel AND have not been enrolled in classes for less than a year (four consecutive quarters or three consecutive semesters)
- I am a current student who wishes to change my program
- I have graduated, or am a previous non-degree, non-matriculated, or visiting student applying to a degree granting program
- I have only previously enrolled as a graduate/professional student at Drexel and am now looking to attend an undergraduate program
*Students who have been permanently dismissed are not eligible for readmission.
Okay, I meet one of the readmission criteria above, what next?
- Apply as a new applicant by the program deadline, selecting "readmit student" as your status
- If you are an alumni, military, or employee/member of one of Drexel's partner organizations and qualify for a tuition savings, be sure to note your affiliation in the Affiliation Information section of the application
What do I need to prepare before applying for readmission?
- Resolve any current holds on my record
- The most common holds are financial, academic, and judicial (student conduct). To learn if you have a hold, please log in via DrexelOne.
- Contact Drexel Central to re-establish my financial aid (if applicable)
- Have a list of any academic institutions I attended while away from Drexel and request my official transcripts from those institutions
- TIP: Request official transcripts early as they can take some time to process and arrive
- Prepare my readmission statement
- Discuss your interest in readmission, what you have been doing since last attending, and whether you left in good standing
*The review process may take a few weeks, therefore we recommend you complete your readmission application two months prior to the start of the term.
