Readmission

Returning students, sometimes referred to as former students or readmits, are those who previously attended A&M–Central Texas and wish to return after sitting out for more than one year. Graduate students who have been out for less than one year should refer to the Reactivation Following Non-Attendance section below.

To be considered for readmission, returning students must complete the following steps:

1. Submit a Quick Admission Application.
2. Provide official transcripts from all institutions attended since last enrolled at A&M–Central Texas.

Returning students who have not attended any other college or university since last attending A&M–Central Texas will be readmitted automatically. Those who have enrolled at another institution must meet all general admission requirements at the time of readmission.

Exception to Readmission Requirements

In accordance with Texas Education Code § 51.9242, Readmission of Students Who Withdraw to Perform Active Military Service, A&M–Central Texas students who withdraw to serve in active duty for the U.S. Armed Forces or the Texas National Guard are not required to complete a university application or pay an application fee if they re-enroll within one year of separation from military service.

For more information, contact the Graduate School.

Readmission after Academic Suspension

Students who leave the university due to academic suspension may apply for readmission following the suspension period. If admitted, students must:

1. Contact the Graduate School to complete a readmission contract, which outlines the terms of continued enrollment.
2. Meet with their academic advisor or Graduate Program coordinator to discuss academic expectations and support resources.
3. Enroll in no more than six (6) credit hours per semester until their institutional GPA reaches a 3.0 or higher.
4. Earn a minimum 3.0 GPA each semester while on a contract to remain in good academic standing.

Failure to comply with the terms of the contract may result in additional academic action, including dismissal from the program or the university.

Readmission after Conduct Suspension

Students who leave the university due to conduct or behavioral suspension must submit a Readmission and Registration Request to the Office of Student Conduct no earlier than the last four weeks of the semester preceding their intended return.

Students placed on conduct suspension are automatically blocked from registering for future semesters until their request has been approved by the Office of Student Conduct.

Reactivation Following Non-Attendance

Students who have been absent for less than one year may request a one-time reactivation to maintain their continuing student status without reapplying. Requests for reactivation must be made prior to the start of the semester in which the student plans to re-enroll.

Eligibility for reactivation requires the student to be:

• In good academic standing
• Under an active suspension contract (if applicable)

Students who do not request reactivation before the start of the semester must follow the readmission process.
