Readmission for Previously Enrolled Students

Students who separate from Commonwealth University for one or more semesters and wish to return must complete an application for readmission. This application should only be used by undergraduate students who previously attended a Commonwealth University campus location (Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, or Mansfield) as a degree-seeking student and wish to return after not enrolling for one or more semesters (Fall or Spring).

Students who previously attended only as a dual enrollment/early college student or who applied for admission but did not enroll should apply as a first-time freshman.

Students previously enrolled in a master's program seeking readmission should apply here.

Complete and submit the application for readmission. There is no application fee required.

Readmission is not guaranteed. In order to be qualified for readmission, you must be in good academic, financial, and social standing.

Academics:

• Review degree maps for Commonwealth University majors. 
  • Readmitted students are responsible for the graduation requirements and academic policies that exist at the time of re-entrance.
• Contact the department chairperson of the major you wish to pursue to discuss your return. 
  • They can help you determine if the program you are considering is right for you. 
  • Select academic programs, including nursing, medical imaging, radiologic technology, and medical lab science are cohort programs. They have a limited number of seats available and specific requirements that must be met. 

Financial:

• Review current cost information. 
• Contact the Financial Aid Office to determine if you have federal financial aid eligibility remaining.

Returning students do not need to request a transcript from Commonwealth University.

However, if you have attended another college or university since last attending a CU location (Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, or Mansfield), please have an official transcript sent to admissions@commonwealthu.edu to receive credit for your work. Official transcripts may also be mailed to the Office of Admissions at the campus location you plan to attend.

In addition to traditional transfer credit for courses completed at another institution, CU offers the opportunity to earn credit for your prior work, training, and life knowledge and apply it toward your associate's or bachelor’s degree.
