Returning to LAS after time away

LAS students who voluntarily withdrew during the semester or "stopped out" for a semester are generally eligible for re-entry to the LAS major in which they were last enrolled, provided they meet both these conditions:

• The student is in good standing or on probation
• The student's maximum terms of eligibility have not been exceeded. LAS limits the numbers of semesters students may be enrolled for the purpose of completing their degrees.

Choose one of the following steps, depending upon your time of absence:

• Students who have ‘stopped out" for one semester only should contact their admissions/records officer to arrange for an assigned registration time which reflects class status; open registration time tickets (after the fourth week) are assigned automatically.
• Students who have ‘stopped out" for at least two semesters but not more than two calendar years should submit an Intent to Return to LAS form according to the deadlines below.
• Students who have ‘stopped out" for a period exceeding two calendar years must apply to re-enter LAS.
