Reinstatement and Readmission
Reinstatement
Former Stevenson University students who were academically dismissed at the end of their last semester enrolled must apply for reinstatement to the University and attend a hearing with the Academic Review Board. Instructions to apply for reinstatement can be found on the Stevenson Admissions webpage under "Returning Students". Applications must be submitted no later than June 1 for the fall semester and January 2 for the spring semester. Upon receipt of the application, the Academic Review Board will schedule a hearing and make an appropriate recommendation. Reinstatement to the university is not guaranteed.
Readmission
Former Stevenson University students who were in good academic standing at the end of their last semester enrolled must apply for readmission to the University if absent for three or more consecutive semesters. Instructions to apply for readmission can be found on the Stevenson Admissions webpage under "Returning Students". If the student attended any other college since leaving Stevenson, they must submit an official transcript from each college or university attended. The readmission application is not complete until all official documents are received. Students are encouraged to apply early to take full advantage of early registration, advising, and course availability. Recommended deadlines for readmission are May 1 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester. Normal processing time is approximately two weeks. Students who were absent from the University two semesters or less do not need to apply for readmission and should contact the Registrar's Office directly to have their program reactivated and register for classes. Official transcripts of any work taken at another institution must be submitted directly to the Registrar's Office.
Readmission of Service Members
In compliance with ED 34 C.F.R. 668.18 and the Department of Defense (DoD) Voluntary Education Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Stevenson University will promptly readmit students who, because of military service, must be absent from the University for more than 30 consecutive days, or for fewer than 30 days, if the absence results in a withdrawal from the University. For the purpose of this policy, military service is defined as “service, whether voluntary or involuntary, in the armed forces, including service by a member of the National Guard or Reserve, on active duty, active duty for training, or full-time National Guard duty under federal authority for a period of more than 30 consecutive days under a call or order to active duty of more than 30 consecutive days” (ED 34 C.F.R. 668.18).
Regulations governing the readmission of service members after an absence because of military service can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. The notification of service and the intent to return to Stevenson required by the federal regulations should be made to Stevenson’s School Certifying Official in the Registrar's Office.
