Returning Former Students

A student is eligible to apply as a returning former student only when returning in the same classification as when previously enrolled. A returning undergraduate or professional student who has not been enrolled for more than one quarter (excluding summer quarter) is required to complete and file a Returning Former Student Reenrollment Application by the closing date:

Quarter Deadline Date
Autumn - July 1
Winter - November 1
Spring - February 1
Summer - June 1

  3. Call or pick up a form from the Registration Office, 225 Schmitz Hall, 206-543-8580.

A returning undergraduate or professional student must include a $50 application fee with the application.

A student who drops all of his or her classes before the first day of the quarter in which they are returning must reapply for any subsequent quarters. The student will also forfeit their $100 Enrollment Confirmation Deposit.

The University will accept but not process a Returning Former Student Reenrollment application for any students who have either a financial or academic hold on their transcript or registration. Once the hold has been cleared, the application will be processed.

A returning student must pay a nonrefundable Enrollment Confirmation Deposit of $100 by the date indicated in the offer of readmission. Students applying to enter the University for the first time or in a new category may not apply as returning students. Instead, they should consult information about the appropriate category: undergraduate, which includes postbaccalaureates; graduate; or professional.
