Readmit Applicants

The Office of Admissions' decision is based primarily on the student's record while enrolled at Eastern. In most cases, students in good academic standing (Eastern GPA of 2.0 or higher) with no outstanding financial or administrative obligations to the University are granted readmission.

In general, students requesting readmission who are not in good academic standing (Eastern GPA less than 2.0) are required to complete coursework in non-matriculated status to improve their Eastern cumulative grade point average to good standing. Once the Eastern GPA is in good academic standing, readmission may be granted.

The Fresh Start readmission option is designed for students who have attempted fewer than 60 credits during their initial matriculation at Eastern, earned a cumulative GPA below 2.0 during that period, and have not been matriculated at Eastern for at least 3 academic years. Prior to admission under this program, the student will need to demonstrate evidence of academic or professional achievement since leaving Eastern. Upon readmission, the following guidelines will apply:

• The decision to readmit a student under this policy will be made by the Admissions Office.
• The student's previous academic record, while matriculated at Eastern, will be treated like that of a transfer student.
• Graduation requirements will be determined by the catalog at the time of re-entry.
• A minimum of 30 credits will be required in residence at Eastern after readmission , regardless of previous total credits completed at Eastern and/or elsewhere.
• Courses taken at Eastern while not matriculated will not be impacted by the Fresh Start.
• This option can only be used once.

Students who have completed course work at another accredited institution are required to submit an official transcript to the Office of Admissions for transfer credit evaluation. Eastern's transfer credit policies apply. While credit for courses taken at other accredited institutions may be awarded in transfer, the grades earned at the prior institution do not transfer to Eastern, and therefore do not impact the student's Eastern GPA. Moreover, grades earned in courses taken at other colleges have no bearing on the decision for readmission to Eastern.
