Readmission Application Form:
Following a break in enrollment of one semester or more, graduate students at èAPP must apply for readmission, if they did not request an official Leave of Absence prior to their break in attendance. Applicants for readmission to their graduate program should complete this online form. If the student is continuing in the same program, in many cases this form will reactivate their student status to “current”, if an Official Leave of Absence Form was not submitted or expired. If the student is applying to a new program at èAPP,, not the readmission application. If the student has gone to another institution since attending èAPP or has not attended the University for an extended period of time, the student may be asked to submit additional documentation such as transcripts, recommendations or participate in an admission interview. The Graduate School will notify students if additional information is needed. If you have any questions, please contact the Graduate School atgradadmit@jcu.eduor 216.397.4284.
