Readmission Policy
Student Readmission
Any student who has been withdrawn from the University is required to complete an application for readmission and meet the University’s admission requirements. Students must meet current admission policies and abide by program requirements, tuition, and fees at the time of readmission. To be readmitted to Aspen University and permitted to re-enroll, a student must complete an application at www.aspen.edu. Once the application is completed, the student will be contacted by an Enrollment Advisor, who will assist the student with the readmissions process. Exceptions to entrance GPA admissions requirements may be considered for those students who have already completed at least half of their program at Aspen University.
Readmission is not guaranteed; pending review, students may be subject to additional stipulations. Additional documentation may be required due to changes in admissions policies or procedures. Readmission is necessary for any student who wants to resume degree candidacy after any of the following situations:
- Student initiated withdrawal from the University
- Failure to follow the University’s Continuous Enrollment Policy
- Failure to commence a course within 180 days of acceptance into the University
- Dismissal due to failure to meet Good Academic Standing
Students may reapply for admission into their previous program, or a substantially equivalent program if the previous program is no longer available. If a student or returning alumni who has graduated from a program is readmitted, they will be subject to the program requirements, tuition, and fees in effect at the time of readmission. Students and returning alumni may need to be financially cleared before returning to the University.
Students dismissed from the University will be required to appeal prior to readmission. Students should contact their Academic Advisor for more information regarding the appeal process.
Students who are readmitted to their program will return with the same academic status (meeting Good Academic Standing or on Academic Observation) that they had prior to leaving their program. Military service members who are readmitted to their program after a period of military service will be readmitted with the same academic status they had prior to their period of military service.
Readmission into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Pre-Licensure Program
Due to the rigors of the program and the importance of up-to-date competencies and knowledge, students who are applying for readmission to the BSN Pre-Licensure program are held to the following requirements:
- Students who have been in a closed status for 2 sessions (16-weeks) or less:
- Students will be held to all current Pre-Professional Nursing general education requirements. The students Pre-Professional Nursing coursework will be reevaluated. The student will have to retake any Pre-Professional Nursing coursework that no longer meets the requirements in place at the time of readmission.
- If the student had previously completed Nursing Core coursework, students will be required to take an assessment checklist for each Core course previously completed. The student will have one chance to pass the assessment checklist; if the checklist is not passed on the first try, the student will have to retake the course. All assessment checks must be completed before the student is assigned to a new nursing cohort in order to ensure the student is placed with the appropriate cohort.
- Students who have been in a closed status for more than 2 sessions (16-weeks):
- Students will be held to all current Pre-Professional Nursing general education requirements. The students Pre-Professional Nursing coursework will be reevaluated. The student will have to retake any Pre-Professional Nursing coursework that no longer meets the requirements in place at the time of readmission.
- If the student had previously completed Nursing Core coursework, none of those prior credits will apply. Students will apply for a new cohort upon completion of the Pre-Professional Nursing courses and restart the Nursing Core courses.
