I have taken some time away from U-M and now want to be readmitted. What should I do?
If you are a former U-M student and now wish to return to the same school or college on the Ann Arbor campus, we would like to do all we can to help you complete your degree.
All returning students are encouraged to first schedule an appointment with their academic advisor to develop a re-entry plan.
Official transcript(s) of all academic work done at other institutions since leaving U-M should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at transcripts@umich.edu.
International students on temporary U.S. visa status (F-1 or J-1) who have missed a full year must contact the International Center to have their visa status updated.
Most schools and colleges have their own readmission/reactivation process for applicants who have not been enrolled in the past year. College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) students and Michigan Engineering students should visit their respective colleges’ webpages to learn more.
If you were an undergraduate in another school or college, you should contact that school or college directly.
Only complete the Office of Undergraduate Admissions Readmit Application if either of the following apply:
- You registered and withdrew after the first day of class of your first term at U-M, but before the drop/add deadline. Exception: Michigan Engineering students who have not taken any courses elsewhere since their original term of admission should contact Michigan Engineering's Office of Undergraduate Recruitment directly.
- You completed a degree at U-M and wish to obtain a second degree within the same school or college.
You may request an Office of Undergraduate Admissions application by going to our Ask a Question service and typing “Readmit Application” in the title field.
