How to Return to Mason After an Absence

Enrollment After Previous Attendance

Students in good academic standing who have missed two or more consecutive semesters of enrollment (excluding summer term) at Mason may apply for RE-ENROLLMENT if they DO NOT meet any of the following excluded categories:

1. The student is a degree-seeking undergraduate who was last enrolled five or more years ago.
2. The student is an undergraduate returning after any absence during which he or she studied at another institution, without prior written permission of his or her school or college. Such students must reapply as transfer students. Transfer of coursework taken without prior permission is not guaranteed.
3. The student is international with F-1 or J-1 immigration status.
4. The student was suspended or dismissed from any college or university for nonacademic reasons.
5. The student was academically dismissed from Mason.
6. The student was ever convicted of a felony.

All Re-enrollment applications should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

Re-Admission After Previous Attendance

If any of the above criteria 1-6 apply to you, you may be considered for RE-ADMISSION by submitting a new on-line transfer application to the Office of Admissions. Re-admission is not guaranteed. Re-admission applicants are required to adhere to all posted admission deadlines.
