Readmission Procedure

When a student withdraws prior to graduation, the student may re-enter ECPI within five years (two years for nursing, physical therapist assistant, and medical radiography students) and retain full academic credit, provided the courses are still applicable to the program. Returning students who have completed clinical courses may be required to pass clinical competency evaluations. Students will maintain the original cost per semester with an absence of less than six months during their program.  Students with an absence of more than six months are subject to tuition rates in effect at the time of readmission.  They may be required to undergo skill proficiency examination, particularly if significant curriculum changes are involved. In addition, these students will also be required to return into the program/ curriculum taught at the time of readmission. 

While returning students are not required to reapply for admission, they must schedule an appointment to discuss their return to the University and go through the formal readmission process. The student’s records are reviewed by the following departments:

• Student Records will review satisfactory academic progress;
• Student Accounts will review for outstanding balances;
• Financial Aid will review unresolved financial issues; and
• Academic Affairs will review attendance and academic preparedness to resume studies at ECPI.

Students must have approval by all departments in order to complete the readmission process.
