Readmittance Request (On-Campus Programs)

Readmittance to undergraduate and graduate programs at Johnson & Wales University’s four campuses must be requested at least four (4) weeks prior to the desired term start date, and no earlier than

  • Summer or Fall term: 3rd/4th week of March
  • Winter term: 2nd/3rd week of September
  • Spring term: 1st/2nd week of December

If you are approved for readmittance, you will be assessed the current tuition rate. You are responsible for any changes to your program of study that occurred during your period of absence. If the break in enrollment exceeds one year or more, your program of study may follow the requirements listed in the current year catalog.

Due to progress in curriculum and industry requirements, undergraduate credits earned 10 years ago or longer and graduate credits earned 3 years ago or longer may have to be repeated. A committee of faculty and administration reviews all readmittance requests for course equivalencies.

Following a completed review, you will receive notification regarding the request’s status. Readmittance requests are not guaranteed, are subject to space availability and must satisfy the additional criteria:

  • Readmittance to the university is subject to current admissions requirements.
  • Readmittance may not be requested for a major or program that has been discontinued.
  • Undergraduate students with a GPA below 2.00 and graduate students with a GPA below 3.00 must be reviewed and approved by the Academic Review Committee. Post-Graduate (Doctoral) students must receive approval from the Director of Doctoral Studies.
  • Students seeking readmittance after academic suspension must include documentation indicates improvement in areas of deficiency. A decision will be determined by the Committee on Academic Standing.
  • Students seeking readmittance after a student conduct dismissal must be reviewed and approved by the Dean of Students.

  • Students seeking readmittance after a Director of Student Counseling-approved medical leave must forward medical clearance to the Office of Student Counseling.
  • Undergraduate students requesting readmittance after attending another institution must meet residency requirements to be eligible for an undergraduate degree. Students must submit an official college transcript to Student Academic Services within the first term of their readmittance in order for the university to review transfer credit.
  • Transfer credit will not be awarded to any student who took classes elsewhere during a period of disciplinary suspension from JWU.
  • Students who previously earned sanitation certificates at JWU must be reviewed by Student Academic Services. If the award date is more than five years old, the student will be required to obtain recertification.
