Readmission to the University (Undergraduate)

Students who have withdrawn, who have been suspended from the University, or have fallen out of enrollment must make written application for readmission in order to be re-enrolled in Lakeland classes. Successful readmission requires the complete payment of all prior balances due to the university and approval of the Kellett School Admissions Committee and the approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Students who were suspended or who were not in good academic standing at the time they left the university will be asked to submit grades from any college-level coursework they may have completed elsewhere and/or letters of recommendation from any employers or supervisors who observed their work during the time they were absent from Lakeland. Such students may be readmitted on academic probation status.

Prior to readmission the university will conduct an overall review of the student’s records relating to his or her prior experience at Lakeland University. This review will include academic performance, conduct, compliance with financial obligations, and any other factors deemed relevant. The university reserves the right to make the readmission decision based on any combination of the above factors in the best interests of the student as well as the university community. The policy applies to all readmissions regardless of the reasons for the student’s initial withdrawal from the institution.

Readmitted students are subject to the degree requirements in effect at the point of their reentry to the university.

Readmission Following Suspension

Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one academic semester has elapsed. Successful readmission requires the complete payment of all prior balances due to the university, the approval of the Admissions Advisors, and the approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs. If readmitted, students who were previously suspended will be placed on probation status until their coursework merits a return to good academic standing. Students who have been readmitted following a suspension must improve their overall GPA each term until they have earned a return to good academic standing. Failure to earn a return to good standing may result in dismissal from the university.

Readmission After Withdrawal or Falling Out of Enrollment

Students who have voluntarily withdrawn or fallen out of enrollment may apply for readmission under the same procedures listed above for readmission to the university. Students who officially withdrew in good standing and are readmitted will return in good academic standing.
