Readmission after Dismissal Policy

Undergraduate students who have been dismissed or meet the College’s policy for dismissal are subject to this policy if applying for readmission into the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.  Students can be readmitted back to KU after a first and a second dismissal but they must complete their readmission requirements.

First Dismissal: Sit out one fall or spring semester, complete at least one 3 credit course transferable to KU Core 34 Goals, earn a 2.50 GPA in all courses taken since dismissal

Second Dismissal: Sit out one academic year, complete at least one 3 credit course transferable to KU Core 34 Goals, earn a 2.50 GPA in all courses taken since dismissal

Third Dismissal:  A third dismissal is final

If all requirements for the KU Core 34 goals are completed, no coursework is required.  Students returning after an academic dismissal will be readmitted on probation and must meet their required term GPA requirements to avoid another dismissal.
