Resumption of Study
Graduate students must apply to resume study when:
- They are in good academic standing but, officially withdrew from their program or it has been two years since they completed a course at the College.
- They have wish to return to the College after academic or conduct dismissal.
All students must complete a Graduate Resumption of Study form which is available on the Registrar's Office webpage.
All students interested in resuming study must meet with the Graduate Coordinator or Department Chair of their program. Students who wish to resume study after academic dismissal must provide evidence of probable success to be considered for resumption of study. The College reserves the right not to readmit students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. Students who wish to resume study after conduct dismissal must also meet with the Associate Vice President for Student Development.
Students must submit the completed form, with signatures, to the Registrar's Office for processing. An email will be sent to the student's Saint Rose email address with information about registration.
Students who would like to enter a new program, different than the one they were dismissed from, must follow the admissions procedures for the new program. The program that dismissed the student will be consulted as part of the admissions process.
If approved, students will resume their studies under the catalog in effect at the time of resumption. All courses to be counted toward the degree or advanced certificate must be completed within six years.
