How to Apply for Re-Entry Into College

Many Americans seek college degrees at colleges and universities across the country. During times of sickness, stress or loss a student might leave the classroom behind to tend to more pressing matters, but this doesn't have to end his college career. Many schools have specific policies for students wishing to return to their studies after lengthy absences, and the procedures involved are generally universal. Some centers might require a submitted letter explaining the absence and others may require interviews to determine re-enrollment eligibility.

      Contact the admissions office; guidance counselors or career counselors are available to help you with necessary paperwork and find the right classes to meet your educational goals. Program requirements can change, and if you have been away from school for a lengthy period, the courses you previously passed may no longer count toward your degree.

      Submit your official high school transcripts and a copy of your SAT or ACT scores. Some colleges might ask you to take a placement test to determine your academic needs. These tests generally apply to math, reading and comprehension placement. Your career counselor will inform you if you need placement testing.

      Transfer any official college transcripts from other colleges to the admissions department of your school.
