An undergraduate student who is seeking readmission to the University may choose to have all University of Mary Washington coursework, which is at least seven academic years old, not factored into the calculation of the GPA. A student who chooses this option receives credit for courses in which a grade of at least C was earned and loses credit for courses with grades below a C. The grades for such courses, however, are not included in the computation of the GPA. The decision to declare Academic Bankruptcy must be made at the time of re-enrollment, prior to registering for classes and can be claimed no more than once in a student’s career at the University. Students seeking to declare academic bankruptcy should contact the Office of Academic and Career Services for additional details. This step is taken during the readmission process.
Students initiate the readmission process through the Office of Admissions. For students whose last cumulative GPA was less than 2.00, readmission is subject to review by the Committee on Academic Standing which is administered through the Office of Academic Services. Students seeking readmission requiring such review must first complete the application for readmission with the Office of Admissions and then schedule a readmission advising appointment with the Office of Academic Services.
Students submit transcripts of any academic work completed while not in attendance at the University of Mary Washington for evaluation and consideration of transfer credit. Previously earned UMW credits will also be reviewed for possible application to the current curriculum. Students who are readmitted must follow the graduation requirements and major requirements of the Catalog in force at the time of their readmission. The Office of Academic and Career Services provides additional information regarding the readmission process.
