Readmission to the University
Students who discontinue studies for one academic year or more, must request readmission at the Office of the Registrar of the campus to which they seek admission. Students who have a general average of 2.00 or more, will be exempted from the admission interview. The request can be processed through traditional means or through available electronic means. The Registrar Office, after analyzing the
official documents, will determine the student's eligibility for readmission, using the admission standards established by the Inter American University of Puerto Rico and the program of interest. In addition, the student will be evaluated by the current academic progress standard. The request must be made at least one month before the next enrollment period. Exceptions will be considered individually by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students who have passed courses at another institution of higher learning should present an official transcript of the credits taken. This evidence will be submitted to the Admissions Office for evaluation and possible validation of courses and the Office of Financial Aid for the evaluation of federal, state and institutional aid.
Students, who at the time of a readmission have completed 80% of the study program, may request an evaluation in agreement with the requirements of the program in which they were admitted initially. This provision will not apply to those students whose study program requires some specific certification or license in order to practice the profession. For all other academic or administrative processes, the student will be governed by the provisions of the General Catalog in effect at the time of his readmission.
Students interested in readmission to the University through the Services Program for Adult Students must comply with the requirements established in that section of this Catalog.
Readmission to the University of Veteran and Military Students
When a student with veteran and military status has discontinued the studies for one academic year or more, he/she must request readmission at the Registrar's Office of the academic unit to which is interested in being readmitted. Pursuant to regulations 34 CFR 668.18 (a) (e) and (g), the student will be readmitted with the same academic status as when he or she was last enrolled or admitted to the university. These requirements apply to any student who is unable to attend college due to military service.
The readmission process will entail the application of the institutional guidelines established by the University. In the case of students who have a general average of 2.00 or more, they will be exempt from the admission interview. The request can be processed through the traditional or electronic means available. The Registrar's Office, after analyzing the official documents, will determine the student's eligibility for readmission, using the admission standards established by the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico and the study program of interest. The request must be made at least one month before the next registration period. Exceptions will be considered individually by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students who have subsequently passed courses at other higher education institutions must submit an official transcript of the credits taken at these institutions. This evidence will be submitted to the Admissions Office for evaluation and possible validation of courses, as well as to the Financial Aid Office for the evaluation of federal, state and institutional aid.
Students who, at the time of readmission, have completed 80% of the study program, may request an evaluation in accordance with the requirements of the program for which they were initially admitted. This provision will not apply to those students whose study program requires any particular certification or license to practice the profession. For any other academic or administrative process, the student will be governed by the stipulations of the General Catalog in force at the time of readmission.
