The readmission options below outline the appropriate pathway for undergraduate students: 

• The Transfer Application is for a returning student who left Southern, earned credit at another institution, and would like to transfer back to the university.
• The Readmission Application is for all other returning students who did not attend another institution and would like to be reinstated to their last approved program of study.

If approved for readmission, students will return in the current catalog year with their previous academic standing still in effect. 

Note: Dismissed students may register part-time as non-matriculated students at Southern, but must achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher prior to attempting 30 credits as a non-matriculated student, to return to good standing and apply for readmission to their last program of study.

The readmission options below outline the appropriate pathway for graduate students: 

• The Graduate Application is for a returning student who (1) after leaving Southern, earned 9 or more credits at another institution, (2) was previously dismissed and at least one semester has lapsed (must include a petition to the graduate program coordinator describing why they will be successful if readmitted), or (3) was originally admitted to a master's degree or sixth-year certificate more than six years ago, or a doctoral degree more than seven years ago. 
• The Readmission Application is for all other returning students who would like to be reinstated to their last approved program of study. 

If approved for readmission, students will return in the current catalog year with their previous academic standing still in effect.
