• TIMELINES: 
  Summer 2025 term readmissions begin February 3rd
  Fall 2025 term readmissions begin March 1st

CURIOUS about returning, but not 100% ready?

Complete our intake form if you are interested in returning to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at UMD to complete your degree. Based on what you share, we will determine the next steps.

SERIOUS about returning, let's go!

• Tell us about yourself by completing our intake form.
  Academic Review:  Your record may take significant time to review and evaluate depending on your last term of enrollment, transfer credits, etc.
• Financial Aid: Satisfactory Academic Progress - All students receiving financial aid are required to meet SAP standards. 
• Transcripts:  If you attended somewhere else outside the U of MN system, you will need to submit a request/order to have those transcripts sent to UMD.
   

To return to active status and be able to register for classes you must submit this form: Readmission/Return From Leave of Absence Request form.

• Once processed, you will receive an email message from the Office of the Registrar regarding your next steps. (i.e. updating your address, name, etc.)
• Requests must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of term to allow staff time to review your record, process forms, and advise you. As the term nears, the course selection becomes more difficult.
   

SCHEDULE A MEETING with PAM SPENCER (re-enrollment specialist)!
