How to Apply for Readmission

Readmission Criteria & Process

If your student status is currently listed as inactive because you stopped attending UCR for more than 3 consecutive quarters or were disqualified from the University, you will need to file a Readmission Application to be able to resume your education at UCR.  Please review the information below to understand the eligibility for readmission and the steps you will need to follow to apply for readmission.

Eligibility to Readmit to CNAS

1. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.  If your GPA is below a 2.0, you will need to either complete UCR courses through Concurrent Enrollment through the UCR Extension Center or enroll through UCR Summer Sessions to repair your GPA. Please consult with your major advisor about the best options to raise your GPA to a 2.0 to qualify for Readmission.
2. Students must meet the Change of Major criteria for the major they wish to readmit to.
3. Students with less than 75 earned college units may be eligible to readmit as Undeclared.  AP or transfer units earned before your original matriculation at UCR are not counted toward your unit total to determine eligibility to readmit as Undeclared, but anything earned outside of UCR after your original UCR matriculation will apply toward the unit total to determine eligibility to readmit as Undeclared.
4. Students with more than 75 earned units, including units earned at other institutions after their original matriculation at UCR, are no longer eligible to readmit as "Undeclared," they can only apply for readmission directly into a major.
5. Students who wish to readmit to UCR after being academically disqualified from the University are advised to wait at least a year before applying for readmission and may also be required to meet with the Divisional Dean.

To apply for readmission, please follow these steps:

1. File a completed Readmission Application with the appropriate college office below:

   1. If you wish to major in the sciences or math, then you will need to apply for readmission to CNAS (see eligibility above) by submitting your readmission application via email to cnasstudent@ucr.edu.

   2. If you wish to major in the humanities, arts or social sciences, then you will need to submit your readmission application to the CHASS Student Academic Affairs Office.

   3. If you wish to major in engineering (which includes computer science), then you will need to submit your readmission application to the BCOE Student Academic Affairs Office.

2. Attach unofficial transcripts from all other higher education institutions you've attended after leaving UCR, including the UCR Extension Center, along with your readmission application.

3. Review your e-mail for additional information requests and return responses or requested documents as soon as possible.

4. Once your readmission application is reviewed, you will receive an email to the address you listed on your application as well as you UCR email account.  If it is approved, the Registrar will re-activate you as a UCR student, assign your enrollment period, and assign the $70.00 readmission fee to your account.  Readmitted students must submit official transcripts for any college coursework completed after leaving UCR, including UCR Extension Center transcripts, to the UCR Undergraduate Admissions Office.  If your readmission is denied, you will also be notified via email with an explanation.
