Return to Regent
The Readmission and Reactivation processes are for students seeking to return to Regent University. These processes differ from the new student admissions application process and are designed to ensure success upon returning to a previous degree program.
The readmission process is for:
- Students who have been away from Regent for more than one academic year (3 consecutive semesters).
- Students who were academically dismissed (must be at least one year since dismissal).
- Students who were placed on academic suspension.
- Please note that students are readmitted to their last known major.
- Balances from former semesters must be resolved. Students should review their student account with the Business Office before applying for Readmission.
- Readmitted students who are close to degree completion must enroll in a minimum of one-credit hour during the semester they would like to graduate.
- Readmission Application Process:
- Fill out a Readmission Application
- Complete checklist requirements:
- Submit the Readmission Questionnaire that is sent via email.
- Submit official transcripts for any coursework completed during time away from Regent.
The reactivation process is for:
- Students who have been inactive for less than one academic year (3 consecutive semesters).
- Students returning to the same degree program should submit a reactivation application.
- Undergraduate students who wish to change their major or concentration can submit a Change of Field of Study (COFOS) form after reactivation.
- Graduate students who wish to pursue a different degree program may be required to submit a New Student Application through the Office of Admissions.
Regent University requires that any dismissed students wait at least one academic year (or three semesters) before submitting a Readmission Application. This requirement ensures students have time to demonstrate changes that would create a successful return. Early Readmission can be considered in certain student situations, i.e., course scheduling and availability for certain programs. Please reach out to readmission@regent.edu with any questions or for Early Readmission eligibility.
All students returning to the university are responsible for having a financial plan in place to pay for their degree. Some former students, including those who were suspended or dismissed, may be required to go through the SAP Appeal Process process to regain their financial aid eligibility.
The readmission process is applicable to students who earned a grade (including “W” grades) from Regent. Students who dropped courses BEFORE the first day of the class are not eligible for readmission consideration. If you dropped courses less than one year (three semesters), a Reactivation form is needed to move you forward.
Students interested in returning to Regent are required to apply to their last known major. Upon readmission to Regent, students can work with the office of advising to determine if a change of major is available.
Students missing outstanding official transcripts from institutions they attended prior to Regent are still required to submit their official transcripts to complete their application and avoid a future registration hold. This expectation applies to transcripts and other outstanding admissions items, if applicable.
