Readmission

This policy applies to LIM College students who have not been granted a bachelor’s degree from LIM College or the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising (the College), or who did not officially receive a Medical Withdrawal, or whose Medical Withdrawal has expired.

• A student who leaves the College in good standing may be readmitted to the College within three academic years after the last full semester of completed coursework.
  • A student must be in good disciplinary standing at the time he/she left the College.
  • If the student attended another college or university during the leave, an official transcript must be presented to the Registrar prior to readmittance.
  • A student who has been away from the College for less than three semesters (excluding summers) will be readmitted into the curriculum they were under at the time they left the institution. A student who has been away from the College for more than two semesters, and no more than six semesters, will be readmitted under the most recent major and degree requirements in effect at the time of their readmittance.
  • If a student withdraws from the College during a semester, for the purposes of this policy, the student will be considered as having been in attendance that semester.
• In order to be considered for readmittance to the College the student must submit a completed Application for Readmittance and pay the readmittance application fee.

Any student who does not meet the above criteria must reapply for admission to the College through the Office of Admissions.

A student who left the College after being academically dismissed must go through the Academic Dismissal appeals process. A student who left the College after being placed on Academic Probation must be approved to return by the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs before beginning her/his program of studies.

The readmittance policy does not apply to LIM College Graduate Studies programs. Alumni or students who wish to be considered for admission to LIM College graduate programs must apply directly to LIM College Graduate Studies.
