If you would like to pursue two degrees concurrently and there is not currently an option to do so, you must gain approval from the Graduate School Dean's Office. Refer to the Graduate Catalog section regarding concurrent dual degrees. Email [email protected] to set up a meeting with the Graduate Dean's Office.

Readmission is reserved for students who were enrolled in a graduate program for at least one semester. It is best to first contact your academic department to determine your eligibility.  The Readmission fee is waived for students in online programs in the College of Professional Studies. Upon review of your readmission request, other documents and payment of any accumulated continuing enrollment fees may be required.

Complete and submit the Readmission Application.

The Graduate Admissions Office will receive your request and update your record accordingly. If you were admitted, but never enrolled for a previous semester, you must reapply using our online application.
