Reactivation and Readmission

Students who have previously attended may apply for reactivation or for readmission.

Reactivation

You must fill out the reactivation form on-line at if you meet the following criteria. (Or visit Special/Other under .)

  • absent from the University for three or more consecutive terms and were not required to withdraw in your last term at 91ÅÝܽ, and completed no further academic studies at a post-secondary institution during the time away from Simon Fraser University; or
  • all your undergraduate programs at Simon Fraser University are complete or will be completed by the end of the term.

Readmission

The following conditions require that you apply for readmission before enrolling in further courses:

  • completion of further academic studies at a post-secondary institution during the time you were away from Simon Fraser University; or
  • required to withdraw or placed on extended withdrawal from 91ÅÝܽ; or
  • voluntary withdrawal from your first term of attendance. If you are a new student who withdraws before completing any course work, you are required to apply for readmission if you wish to enrol in a subsequent term. (This does not apply if you withdraw under extenuating circumstances, after the application deadline for the subsequent term), or
  • you are a concurrent studies student who completes a term and wishes to continue at the University; or
  • you previously attended as a visiting or exchange student and now wish to complete a 91ÅÝܽ credential.

If any of these conditions are present, you must apply for readmission on-line at by the applicable application deadlines.

Holders of 91ÅÝܽ Bachelor’s Degrees

In addition to submitting an application for readmission or reactivation, former 91ÅÝܽ students who plan to undertake a program of study leading to an additional bachelor’s degree or toward a diploma are urged to obtain program approval from the appropriate department and faculty as soon as possible. Such students entering certificate programs should obtain approval from their faculty advisors.

Students holding 91ÅÝܽ bachelor’s degrees may also apply for reactivation to undertake undergraduate courses as special students if no further academic studies at a post-secondary institution were completed during the time away. Normally, no approval is required.

Readmission of Involuntarily Withdrawn Students

A former student who is involuntarily withdrawn from the University (required to withdraw or placed on extended withdrawal) may apply for readmission based on performance achieved in external academic course work completed after she/he last enrolled at 91ÅÝܽ (see below for details).

Readmission after Required to Withdraw

A former student who is required to withdraw (RTW) shall be eligible for readmission if she/he completes, externally, further transferable academic work according to the following schedule (any of the following five options):

  • 12-17 units with a minimum 3.50 GPA (grade point average)
  • 18-23 units with a minimum 3.00 GPA
  • 24-29 units with a minimum 2.75 GPA or with the acceptance GPA (see Acceptance GPA below) whichever is higher
  • 30 or more units with the acceptance GPA (see Acceptance GPA below)
  • a completed two year technical diploma with a 70% minimum average and at least 12 units of transferable course work with a minimum 2.75 GPA. (The transferable work may be within the diploma program or supplementary to it.)

Readmission of Students on Extended Withdrawal (PW)

A former student on extended withdrawal (PW) shall be eligible for readmission if she/he completes further transferable academic work according to the following schedule (any of the following five options):

  • 24-35 units with a minimum 3.50 GPA
  • 36-47 units with a minimum 3.00 GPA
  • 48-59 units with a minimum 2.75 GPA or with the acceptance GPA (see Acceptance GPA below), whichever is higher
  • 60 or more units with the acceptance GPA
  • a completed two year technical diploma with a 70% minimum average and at least 24 units of transferable course work with a minimum 2.75 GPA. (The transferable work may be within the diploma program or supplementary to it.)

Acceptance GPA

The acceptance GPA refers to the minimum admission GPA in effect for that term for British Columbia college transfer students, according to enrolment limitation measures. The acceptance GPA may vary.

Readmission Deadlines

Deadlines for consideration shall be the same as for other students seeking readmission (see “Application Deadlines”).

Duplicate Courses for Readmission

A repeated course attempt which was passed with a C grade or higher prior to leaving 91ÅÝܽ will not count in the unit or GPA calculations for readmission. Students may not complete courses at the college that are a lower level than those completed at 91ÅÝܽ for readmission (e.g. the student has successfully completed MATH 157 at 91ÅÝܽ and/or MATH 158; therefore the student may not take MATH 100, MATH XXX or MATH 1XX for readmission).

Final Grades Evaluated for Readmission

Evaluation for readmission is based only on final grades (i.e. courses in progress are not evaluated).

Transfer Credit on Readmission

Credit for transferable courses shall be granted on readmission, subject to a C minimum grade in each course, and subject to normal transfer credit limits.

Standing on Readmission

If readmitted, a student who was previously involuntarily withdrawn from the University (RTW or PW) is placed on academic probation (OAP) and shall again be subject to the conditions described above.
