Readmission/Re-Entry Policies
Students who stop attending college are recorded as withdrawn from the College whether or not they officially withdraw, and when they do not return after an approved time away for one to two semesters off. Students who are recorded as withdrawn from the College and wish to return to Molloy must apply for readmission by submitting a Readmission Application with a $40.00 application fee to the Admissions Office.
Prior records are kept by the Registrar's Office and will be retrieved and processed accordingly. All outstanding transcripts must be forwarded to the Admission's Office for evaluation. Students who have been withdrawn from Molloy College for more than five years must submit all their credentials, as the original documents are no longer on file. Molloy coursework history and grades earned are kept permanently.
Readmitted Students: Readmitted students must be in good academic and financial standing in order to return to Molloy.
Readmitted students are required to meet existing admission standards and program requirements at the time of re-application. The statute of limitation for previously completed coursework which is accepted for re-admission is limited by each division. Refer to "Graduation Requirements" in the chapter on "Honors Awards, Graduation and Beyond."
Readmitted students must pursue and satisfy the current graduate catalog requirements when readmitted. These catalog requirements include the current course requirements, academic standards for progression and graduation, as well as any conditions set by the department.
Separation from College for One to Two Semesters Off: Students returning from one to two semesters off must be approved for re-entry courses by their Division Dean in order to be advised and registered for their planned term of return. Approved students will return and pursue their same program requirements. Students who do not return from their one to two semesters off as scheduled, will be considered officially withdrawn from the College and must apply to be readmitted should they want to return. Re-entering students returning from an approved one to two semesters off should further refer to the "Academic Policies and Procedures" section of the catalog.
Additionally, the "Graduation Requirements" section of the catalog provides the limits regarding the number of years that a student is allowed for degree completion in each program.
Molloy/CAP21 Separation Policy: A current student in the Molloy/CAP21 program may request a separation for one academic year (July 1 to June 30) only and may rejoin the program the following academic year, subject to available openings. Students requesting a one year separation must submit a Separation From College Request Form through their Lion's Den account to the Office of the Registrar and notify the Director of the Molloy/CAP21 Program, Theatre Department in writing by August 15. Note that one semester separations are not permitted.
Students who take a separation year are not guaranteed re-admission which is contingent upon several factors, including the number of available openings in the following academic year’s cohort. If the cohort is full, re-admission cannot be granted. Students must submit their written request for re-admission to the Molloy/CAP21 program by April 1 of their separation year and it must be accompanied by a video audition demonstrating that they continue to possess the same level of performance competence.
Space availability will be determined by a cohort size of three sections, 48 students maximum. If there are more students requesting re-admittance to the program than there are openings in a cohort, then the selection of qualified students will be prioritized based on GPA as of the effective date of separation.
Financial Aid for Molloy/CAP21 Separation Considerations: Merit based scholarships will be reinstated for the Fall 2021, providing that the student has not enrolled in coursework at another college or university during the 2020-2021 academic year. Eligibility for need based grants and aid is subject to change based upon the FAFSA. For specific questions please contact Marguerite Lane, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management.
