None
Policy Statement
Students applying for readmission with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average as undergraduates or a 3.0 as graduate students are required to submit a written request to the dean of the school of their prior enrollment. The letter and application form should be submitted at least four weeks prior to the date of anticipated enrollment. Generally, readmitted students are permitted to graduate from Mercer University according to the degree requirements set forth in the catalog under which they originally enrolled. However, students who leave the University, and are not enrolled for three consecutive years, must fulfill the catalog requirements in force at the time of re-enrollment.
Students who seek readmission after ten years must reapply through the Office of Admissions.
Students who seek readmission after five years must secure new transcripts from all other institutions attended, including those institutions attended prior to their initial enrollment at Mercer.
Additional Resources
Students enrolled in a program at a Mercer University’s Regional Academic Center or Mercer University’s Main Campus in Macon who want to transfer to a program at Mercer University’s Cecil B. Day Atlanta Campus, must complete the Application for Readmission or Intra-University Program Change form, available in the Office of the Registrar.
