If you plan to return to your graduate program after an absence of two or more semesters (excluding summer and UWinteriM sessions), you must apply to re-enter the Graduate School using the Graduate School Admission Application. After selecting your School/College from the Apply Now dropdown, click Re-Entry Application at the bottom of the page.

The Graduate School has the following requirements for re-entering students:

  • Completion of a semester’s work within the past five years.
  • A cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0.
  • Clearance of academic and administrative holds.
  • Being within the time limit for degree completion.
  • A $25 processing fee.

You may also need the approval of your graduate program unit. Check with your unit about its re-entry requirements.
