READMISSION AND REINSTATEMENT
Students who are admitted and do not register for their first semester or cancel registration prior to beginning their first semester must apply again for admission (see Freshman or Transfer Admission). Students who are admitted ae "Term Only" also must apply again for admission if they wish to register for a subsequent term.
Students who have matriculated and registered and did not maintain that registration continuously (Fall and Spring semesters) to graduation, must apply for readmission or reinstatement to re-enroll at the University of Maryland.
See "Withdrawal and Leave of Absence from the University" in chapter 4 for more detailed information.
Readmission
Students must apply for readmission if they interrupt registration for one or more semesters and were not academically dismissed at the conclusion of the last semester of attendance.
Reinstatement
Students who are academically dismissed from the university must apply for reinstatement. All applications for reinstatement are reviewed by a Faculty Petition Board. Students may apply for reinstatement for the semester immediately following dismissal or for any subsequent semester. Only the Faculty Petition Board can grant reinstatement.
Students who are denied reinstatement will be required to comply with specific recommendations made by the Faculty Petition Board in order to be considered for reinstatement in a future semester.
Reinstatement After Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from the university must apply for reinstatement if they interrupt enrollment for one or more semesters. Students who were academically dismissed at the conclusion of the previous completed semester also must apply for reinstatement (see Undergraduate Policy on Probation and Dismissal). Students should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for more information about readmission and reinstatement.
