Readmission/Re-Entry Policies

Students who stop attending Molloy University for more than two semesters are considered "withdrawn officially". Students who are recorded as withdrawn and wish to return to Molloy must apply for readmission by submitting a Readmission Application with a $45.00 application fee to the Admissions Office.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 Students who have been withdrawn from Molloy University for more than five years must submit all their credentials, as the original documents are no longer on file.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. 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. The statute of limitation for previously completed coursework which is accepted for re-admission is limited by each division. Refer to "Graduation Requirements".

Readmitted students must pursue and satisfy the current graduate requirements when readmitted. These requirements include the current course requirements, academic standards for progression and graduation, as well as any conditions set by the department.

Separation for One to Two Semesters Off: Students returning from one to two semesters off must be approved for re-entry courses by their School 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 Students who do not return from their one to two semesters off as scheduled, will be considered withdrawn and must apply to be readmitted should they want to return. Re-entering students returning from an approved Separation should further refer to the "Academic Policies and Procedures" section of the catalog.
