I have been out of school for awhile and would like to be readmitted. What do I need to do?

Undergraduates

Former Students in Good Standing:

Students who have not received a grade at TROY within two years and have not attended another institution must contact the Office of Admissions at 800-414-5756 for further guidance on registering for classes. 

Students in academic good standing with the University who have not been enrolled for two years (from the last term/semester for which grades were received) must submit a new application for admission at www.troy.edu/applications-admissions.

Former TROY students who enrolled at another institution since their last term/semester of enrollment must submit a new application for admission. Transcripts from that institution(s) must also be submitted to TROY.

Students Suspended from Troy University:

Students who have been suspended (one term or two terms) must contact and/or meet with the student success center at their campus before being allowed to return. They will be readmitted under probation after serving the suspension. Students who were placed on an indefinite suspension or students who were dropped from program must submit an appeal letter to the Student Success Center. The success center will work with the campus registrar where the student was suspended to determine whether readmission is warranted. Upon approval, if the student has been out for more than two years, they will need to submit a new application for admission. 

Readmission to a Graduate School Program by a Student in Good Standing

A student who is not enrolled in courses for up to two years must contact their advisor or seek assistance from the Office of the University Registrar. These students are allowed to remain in the program for which they originally enrolled. A student not enrolled with Troy University for two or more years must meet all degree requirements current at the time of readmission and complete a Readmission to Graduate School Application. All students who have attended another institution of higher learning since last attending Troy University must submit a Graduate School Application and provide official transcript(s) from that institution before re-enrolling.

Readmission to Graduate School after Academic Suspension

Graduate students may petition for readmission to the Graduate School only twice. In order to be eligible to petition for readmission, a student must have been out of school for at least one calendar year. Students may submit petitions for readmission two months prior to the eligible readmission date. Students who have been academically suspended must follow the procedures outlined below:

  1. A student must petition the Dean of the Graduate School in writing and cite the particulars of his/her case. The petition packet should include:

             a. A letter describing the circumstances that led to academic suspension and give evidence of probable success

                 before being considered for readmission.

             b. Copy of the student’s transcript;

             c. Appropriate letters of support from faculty;

             d. Documentation of circumstances which led to suspension;

             e. Readmission Application.

             Note: Student petitions for readmission must be documented, circumstances verified by the appropriate academic official at each location before the Dean of the Graduate School will                   present the petition to the respective Academic Dean(s).

  1. The Dean of the Graduate School, in turn, will submit the petition and supporting documentation, e.g., transcripts, updated Application for Admission, letter of petition, letters of support, etc., to the appropriate departmental faculty committee through the office of the dean of the discipline in which the student requests readmission.
  2. The departmental committee will review the case and make a recommendation for approval or disapproval to the dean of the discipline.
  3. The dean of the discipline has the authority to accept or reject the recommendation of the department. If the dean of the discipline accepts a favorable recommendation from the departmental committee, he or she must forward it along with his/her endorsement to the Dean of the Graduate School and the Chair of the Graduate Council for their concurrence.
  4. If the student’s petition is rejected by the dean of the discipline (in 4 above), the student is notified in writing by the dean of the discipline, with copies placed in the student’s permanent record.

  5. If the Dean of Graduate School and Chair of Graduate Council accept the recommendation of the dean of the discipline (in 4 above), the student is notified by the Dean of the Graduate School in writing of the decision and informed of any conditions that were placed on his/her readmission. If admitted, it will be on a conditional basis only. The decision of the Dean of Graduate School and Chair of Graduate Council is final.

  6. If the Dean of the Graduate School or Chair of the Graduate Council rejects the recommendation of the dean of the discipline; the request is referred to the Graduate Council as a final appeal. The decision of the Graduate Council is final.

  7. Students who have been suspended or dropped from other universities’ programs for academic reasons must follow the procedures noted below:

            a. The processes of # 1-7 above must be followed. All transcripts from all universities must be submitted as part 

                 of this process.

            b. A student will be eligible for readmission 12 months from the beginning of the suspension period.

            c. Troy University will accept transfer credit only from universities where students are in good academic standing. 

               The acceptance of any transfer credit is at the discretion of Troy University.
