Students returning to the University of Wyoming after not registering for classes for three or more consecutive semesters, including a summer term will need to submit a new application, provide official transcripts from all institution(s) attended since leaving the University of Wyoming, and be in good academic standing. Failure to disclose information about all institution(s) attended will be seen as a deliberate attempt to withhold academic history and may be reason for denied admissions and/or dismissal. Returning students must have a minimum 2.000 cumulative GPA from all undergraduate institutions.
Students suspended from the University of Wyoming must complete the reinstatement process. Academic reinstatement to the University of Wyoming does not constitute admissions to the institution. Students seeking reinstatement are required to meet admissions eligibility and criteria.
Readmission for Former Students
Readmission is the process for former University of Wyoming students to again be admitted to the university. Former UW students who have attended another college since their last UW enrollment must have one official transcript from each college sent directly to the UW Admissions Office. Undergraduate students who are returning to UW after an absence of one year or longer should complete an application for admission at least 30 days prior to registration, thereby allowing sufficient time to avoid delays in registration.
Academic Reinstatement: Former students who are on academic suspension at UW must petition for reinstatement through the dean of their college. A petition for reinstatement must be submitted no later than 15 days before the beginning of the semester or summer term in which the student wishes to register. A petition received after this deadline may not be processed until after the regular registration period.
Academic Renewal: An undergraduate student who returns to UW and has not completed a college course at UW, during the previous five years, will have the option of continuing his or her earlier UW cumulative GPA or commencing a new cumulative GPA under the Academic Renewal policy. Interested students must submit the Academic Renewal Application Form (which can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar) to the registrar no later than ten class days before the last day of classes of the semester in which the student returns to UW.
The entire UW transcript will remain intact. A note indicating the policy will precede the new part of the UW transcript if the student opts for academic renewal. At the discretion of the academic department in which the student is enrolled, credit hours for which the student earned the grade of C or better may be applied toward the completion of the degree requirements. The list of any departmentally approved courses must be indicated on the Academic Renewal Application Form when initially submitted to the registrar. No further changes may be requested.
A student’s GPA and completed courses that were applied to a baccalaureate degree are not eligible for academic renewal.
Readmission for Military Service Members
Policy
The University of Wyoming acknowledges that students may be temporarily unable to attend classes or be required to suspend their studies in order to perform military service. UW encourages such students to resume their education once a military service obligation has ended and adopts this policy to ensure the timely readmission of such students.
In accordance with federal regulations, 34 C.F.R. 668.18 and the Department of Defense (DOD) Voluntary Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the university will promptly readmit service members who seek readmission to a program that was interrupted due to a uniformed service obligation.
Student Responsibility
The student must provide oral or written notice of a uniformed service obligation to the Veterans Service Center as far in advance as possible, unless precluded by military necessity. Such notice does not need to indicate when the student will return to the university.
Tuition and Fees
A returning student must be charged the same tuition and fees in effect during the last academic year the student attended, unless veteran’s education benefits or other service member education benefits will pay the amount in excess. For subsequent academic years, the returning student may not be charged tuition and fees in excess of what other students in the program are charged.
Readmission Requirements
A returning student will be permitted to reenroll in the next semester scheduled in the same academic program, unless the student requests a later date of reenrollment or agrees to a different program. A returning student will be readmitted into the same academic program the student was enrolled in prior to the military service or the student requests admission to a different program.
If the university determines that a returning student is not prepared to resume the program or is unable to complete the program, the university must make reasonable efforts to enable the student to resume or complete the program at no additional cost to the student. If such efforts are unsuccessful or place an undue hardship on the university, the university is not required to readmit the student.
In accordance with federal regulations, returning student who receive a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge from the Armed Forces (including the National Guard and Reserves) are not eligible for readmission under this policy. However, service members who receive dishonorable or bad conduct discharge may remain eligible for readmission even though they will not be entitled to the benefits outlined in this policy.
