Re-entry to Campus after an Absence

Students wishing to reenter UW-Madison after an absence of a semester or more must file a reentry application form. This form is available from the UW-Madison Office of Undergraduate Admissions. If an applicant is not in good academic standing, the reentry application will be referred to the appropriate dean for readmission.

Students admitted to the professional part of a program may leave UW-Madison for a maximum of two consecutive semesters (excluding summer sessions) and be eligible to reenter directly into the program. Students in this situation are not guaranteed immediate placement in a practicum or student teaching placement upon reentry, and graduation may be delayed because of prior commitments to continuing students.

Students who leave the program for more than two consecutive semesters (excluding summer sessions) may be considered for readmission only on an individual basis. Lack of space in a program may preclude readmission directly into a program for any future semester. Given the individual circumstances, a student may be required to reapply to the program altogether.

The general policy above may be modified by any particular program so that the conditions of reentry match the structure of the professional program. Some programs require that students obtain prior approval to interrupt the program sequence. All students intending to be absent should leave with a firm understanding of the conditions guiding their reentry into their professional program. Please consult with the appropriate faculty advisor and with Education Academic Services.
