Undergraduate readmission
Quick Re-entry
If you are an undergraduate degree-seeking student who previously attended ASU but who has not been enrolled at ASU for up to seven consecutive fall or spring semesters, you may be eligible to return through Quick Re-entry.* You do not need to submit a new application or application fee. You may sign in to My ASU and register for classes. You may have a hold or Priority Task that you need to complete before you are able to register for classes. Your catalog year upon re-entry will be determined via current policy.
International students are still responsible for all SEVIS requirements and should check with the International Students and Scholars Center at ASU.
If your absence is due to military deployment, service on an official church mission or with a foreign aid service of the federal government, or a permanent disability, you should submit a Leave of Absence.
You must submit official transcript(s) from all institutions you attended during your absence from ASU. Official transcripts must be mailed or sent electronically directly to Admission Services by the records office of the issuing institutions. Please check the contact page for the mailing address. ASU does not accept transcripts sent or carried by hand by applicants themselves or transmitted by fax.
International students (F1/J1 visa) eligible for quick re-entry should contact ASU's International Students and Scholars Center at ISSC@asu.edu to submit documentation for issuance of an I-20 for visa purposes. Visit issc.asu.edu.
*If you have completed an ASU bachelor's degree program and are seeking to pursue another program or were academically disqualified, you are not eligible for quick re-entry.
Readmission requirements
If you are not eligible for Quick Re-entry you must apply for readmission and submit applicable fees. An applicant for readmission must have an ASU GPA of 2.00 or higher, depending on the ASU school or college and must have left on good academic standing. Students who do not meet this GPA and academic standing requirement may appeal. In these cases, the completed application for readmission may be subject to a due date that is earlier than the application deadline.
If a readmission appeal is required, please note that the decisions may take 4-6 weeks.
Note: You must submit official transcripts from all institutions you attended during your absence from ASU. Official transcripts must be mailed or sent electronically directly to Admission Services by the records office of the issuing institutions. ASU does not accept transcripts sent or carried by hand by applicants themselves or transmitted by fax. Please visit our contact page for the mailing address.

Veterans exception
By Arizona statute, no failing grades received by a veteran at an Arizona university or community college before military service may be considered when determining admissibility. This exception applies only to veterans who fulfill these three criteria:
- Are honorably discharged.
- Have served in the armed forces of the United States for a minimum of two years.
- Have previously enrolled at a university or community college in Arizona.
Military service records must be submitted, including form DD 214.
Disqualification
If you have been academically disqualified from ASU, you will need to wait for at least one fall or spring semester to pass immediately following your disqualification before applying for readmission. Some ASU colleges or schools may require you to wait for a longer period. Contact the college or school of your desired major for more information.
Academic renewal
Academic Renewal Guidelines
Academic renewal is a university policy administered to recalculate the cumulative ASU GPA of an undergraduate student who:
- Is pursuing his/her first undergraduate degree and has not previously received an academic renewal; and
- Has a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.0; and
- Is readmitted to a degree program after an absence of at least five consecutive years.
ASU Courses completed before the five-year absence with a grade "C" or better are accepted in the same manner as transfer credit. This will apply to the maximum number of community college transfer credits allowed by the program, as specified by SSM 401-01.
Graduation requirements for resident credit hours and GPA must be fulfilled after the academic renewal. Graduation requirements for academic recognition (resident credit hours and GPA) must also be fulfilled after the academic renewal.
Courses completed before and after the academic renewal remain on the transcript and may be considered when students apply for undergraduate professional or graduate programs.
Procedure:
The student must:
- Print the Application for Academic Renewal form from the web, or request it from the college of the student's major; and
- Submit the form to the dean’s office in the college offering the student’s major before the last day of the third semester after readmission.
The dean's office of the college of the student's major:
- Specifies a minimum of 12 semester hours the student is required to earn with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 and no grade lower than a "C," to be completed within three semesters after reentry.
Upon completion of the requirements by the student, the dean's office:
- Forwards the approved Application for Academic Renewal to the Course Catalog and Curriculum Maintenance section of University Registrar Services.
Course Catalog and Curriculum Maintenance section of University Registrar Services:
- Processes the academic renewal and adjusts the student's credit hours and GPA; and
- Sends an unofficial transcript showing the processed academic renewal to the student.
