Re-Admission to the College
Students who leave the College in good standing, with all accounts current, may be re-admitted by completing an application for re-admission. This application and official transcripts from any other college attended must be submitted to the Admissions Office. Students only need to reapply if they stop out for more than three years. There is no application fee required in this case.
Students who have been dismissed one time for either academic or disciplinary reasons may be considered for re-admission after:
- remaining out of Belmont Abbey College for one (1) semester and
- completing a total of 12 credit hours—with a grade of “C” or better—at another accredited college or university.
The request for re-admission must be made in writing to the Registrar and must be accompanied by official transcripts of all college work completed. This request will be considered by the Registrar in consultation with the Associate Vice-Provost for Academic Affairs, who may require the student to agree to a contract specifying conditions for re-admission.
Students who have been dismissed for the second time may be reconsidered for readmission after:
- remaining out of Belmont Abbey College for two (2) semesters and
- completing a total of 24 credit hours-with a grade of “C” of better-at another accredited college or university.
Students applying for readmission to the College following a medical withdrawal must provide documentation from a treating physician on their current condition indicating that the applicant is now able to meet his or her responsibilities as a student. This documentation will be provided to the Director of the Wellness Center, who will review it in consultation with the Dean of Student Life.
If a student is re-admitted after having been academically dismissed, he or she will be subject to the policies and procedures outlined in the sections of this Catalogue on Academic Probation and Academic Dismissal. Typically, a student who is re-admitted after having been academically dismissed is reinstated on probation and not allowed to participate in any extra-curricular activities, including athletics, nor is he or she able to pledge to a sorority or fraternity until he or she achieves a cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the end of the following semester, and is therefore no longer on academic probation.
