Readmission

If you were once a student at Clarkson University, but have withdrawn or been otherwise separated from the University, you do not need to reapply through the admissions department.

Any student who has withdrawn from the University, or who wishes to return from an official leave of absence may apply for readmission by sending a letter to Student Administrative Services if an undergraduate student, or the appropriate School if a graduate student.

All cases of undergraduate readmission require concurrent approval of the department chair or program director and of the University's Continuance and Readmission Committee.  In cases of a return from an official leave of absence, such approval is assumed. However, readmission will not be allowed if a student is delinquent on a Clarkson loan or has an outstanding tuition balance.

Factors to consider when writing your letter requesting readmission:

• You should state the semester you wish to return, as well as the major department you would like to enter.

• If you have taken courses at other colleges since leaving Clarkson, have an official transcript mailed to the address listed below. This will be necessary to evaluate any transfer credit you may be eligible for if you are approved for readmission.  You do not need to wait to be readmitted to do this, as successful completion of college level coursework may positively influence the Committee’s decision regarding your return.

• You should also address any circumstances surrounding your withdrawal from Clarkson University that you feel may effect the Committee’s decision.

Please send your letter requesting readmission to:
