Re-Admission Policy and Procedures

In most instances, students withdrawing from The College of Idaho, regardless of the reason, must apply for re-admission.

Students in good academic, disciplinary, and financial standing who leave the College for one or more terms and do not request a leave of absence, or whose leave of absence has expired, may re-enroll in the College within six (6) years of their first term of enrollment. To apply for re-enrollment, the student should complete the Returning Graduate Student form at least one month in advance of the time the applicant wishes to re-enroll (three months are preferred). The director/chair of the relevant graduate program and/or their designee will consider the applicant and may ask for letters of reference, medical documentation, etc., and will review the student’s credentials on file at the College. The graduate program has the right to conduct interviews, secure documentation, evaluate past grades/performance, etc. Since the reason each applicant left is unique, the information required by the graduate program may vary. The graduate program has the right to reject an applicant’s request for re-enrollment. If re-enrollment is approved, the applicant will be held to the requirements in place at the time of re-enrollment. The graduate program will consult with the Dean of Graduate Studies to establish placement and academic conditions for re-enrollment. If a background check is required for the program of study, a new background check will be required.

Former students who have been administratively withdrawn or dismissed from The College of Idaho or who left in good standing but are seeking to return to the College more than six (6) years after their first term of enrollment may be required to complete the admission process used for all new applicants.
