Readmission

This policy applies to undergraduate LIM College students who have not been granted a bachelor’s degree from LIM College or the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising (the College).

In order to be best prepared to resume studies, it is highly recommended that students initiate the readmission process at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester in which they plan to return.

Eligibility and Conditions

A student must have been in good academic and disciplinary standing at the time they left the College. If not, they may need additional clearances prior to reapplying (see Clearances section below).

• A student may only be readmitted into the division they were in at the time they left the college. Students who wish to change divisions must do so after readmission.
• Undergraduate Main Campus Division students who have not been registered** at the College for less than three full academic years must reapply to the institution through the Office of the Registrar. Undergraduate Main Campus Division students who have not been registered** at the College for three years or more must reapply through Admissions.
• Undergraduate Online Division students who have not been registered** at the College for less than one full academic year must reapply through the Office of the Registrar. Undergraduate Online Division students who have not been registered** at the College for one year or more must reapply through Admissions.
• A student will be readmitted under the current major and degree requirements in effect during the semester in which they return. Students are advised to contact Academic Advising or the Office of the Registrar, if they have questions as to how this may affect their progress towards the completion of their degree program.

** Registered includes semesters in which a student was registered for any courses, was on    matriculation maintenance or semesters from which a student withdrew.
