This policy pertains to administrative decision for readmittance of students who are currently withdrawn from enrollment.
Readmission may occur in the following instances:
- Students returning from a hiatus or suspension of less than one year
- Students returning from a hiatus or suspension greater than one academic year but less than five years
- Students returning from a hiatus greater than five years
- Dismissed students seeking readmission
Students returning after a hiatus of less than one year shall contact the Office of the Registrar a minimum of thirty days prior to the start of the academic term.
Students returning from a hiatus longer than one year but less than five years from active registration are required to submit an Application for Readmission to the Registrar at least 60 days prior to the start of the academic term to re-enter the program. If the student has completed coursework at other institutions during the hiatus, transcripts must be forwarded
directly from those institutions to the Office of the Registrar. If this coursework was completed at another chiropractic college, a Student Transfer Form for Readmission must be completed and forwarded directly from those institutions to the Registrar.
The new materials submitted and the student’s past academic record will be reviewed by the Dean of Programs. The College reserves the right to require that students demonstrate competency before resuming their chiropractic studies, as well as require students to meet the current Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) admissions requirements. The Dean will determine the student’s placement within the program and terms of readmission.
Students who have taken a hiatus of less than five years from their initial enrollment date may request to have their previous academic record voided and start over as an incoming first term student. All requests will be evaluated by the Registrar and presented to the campus academic dean, or designee, for final action. Decisions affecting this action should be guided by the Length of Time to Complete Academic Course of Study policy.
Students who interrupt their D.C. education for five years or more will retain no course credits, according to accreditation standards established by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).
Readmission Following Academic Dismissal
Students previously academically dismissed from the College may apply for re-enrollment consideration to the Dean of Programs. The applicant must present evidence of sustained and substantial academic improvement since the date of the student’s previous dismissal. To apply, the student must contact the Registrar at least 60 days prior to the start of the academic term seeking re-entry and complete an Application for Re-Admission. Official transcripts from all institutions attended since the dismissal shall be forwarded directly to the Registrar. The Dean’s decision is final. The College reserves the right to deny, grant or withhold advanced standing.
