Re-Entry to Bellin College
Students who exited Bellin College through a withdrawal (voluntary) or dismissal (involuntary) are permitted to apply for re-entry to the College. The ability to re-apply does not stipulate a guarantee, promise or other agreement concerning acceptance to the program, option placement, academic plan, or transfer of credits. Any student that exits the College may re-apply but must be free of any previous hold status. Applicants for re-entry must re-apply within one calendar year of withdrawal or dismissal. If more than a calendar year has passed since exiting the College, the student must submit a complete application in the standard fashion.
Procedure for Re-Entry, Undergraduate Programs:
Complete the Application for Re-Entry – All Programs and provide supporting documentation as needed. Submit this form to the Student Services office. The re-entry application should include:
- A personal statement highlighting any extenuating circumstances leading to the dismissal, behavioral changes that will contribute to success, etc.
- Contact information including address, home telephone and cell phone numbers, and email address.
- Official transcripts from other institutions where the student may have completed coursework in the period after leaving the college.
- A grade of a C or better is required in general education courses for transfer.
- Accept the re-entry application.
- Deny the re-entry application.
- Defer the re-entry application decision.
If the ad hoc committee denies re-entry, the student’s opportunities for readmission are exhausted and no additional re-application will be reviewed. If the Enrollment Review Ad Hoc Committee defers re-entry, the prospective student will be counseled as to the reason for deferral and provided the option of submitting a re-entry request at a later date.
Students re-entering the College must comply with current policies, procedures, and timelines. Therefore, all college policies in effect at the time of re-entry apply
Students who re-enter the College are placed on probation status. Students who earn a failing grade in any coursework after re-entry will be dismissed.
Depending on the circumstances and program, re-entry students may be required to remediate theory, lab and/or practicum courses as designated by a Personal Assessment for Student Success (PASS) Plan. A PASS plan is designed and implemented to help ensure student success with both course work and certification after re-entry.
The date of re-entry is determined by the ad hoc committee based on classroom, lab and clinical resources. Re-entry may be delayed if a space in a program cohort is unavailable. Students should apply allowing adequate time for processing of an application prior to desired re-entry semester. Students will be bound by the qualifications of the appropriate Bellin College Guide Handbook & Catalog in effect at the time of re-entry. Students who deferred progression do not need to apply through the re-entry procedure unless the deferral period has expired (1 year). Information on Deferred Progression is contained within the College Exit/Withdrawal policy.
