Academic Readmission

Graduate Reinstatement Policy: Understand the steps and requirements for reinstatement at the university.

A student may apply for readmission the semester following the completion of suspension period. All readmitted students are required to attend the Academic Continuance Experience for Success (ACES) workshop before the beginning of the semester of readmission.

If a student readmitted after a second suspension fails to obtain a semester GPA of 2.0 in any semester before achieving a cumulative GPA of a least 2.0, the student will be placed on a final or third suspension. Students who are placed on academic suspension for a third time are no longer eligible to attend Old Dominion University.

Students readmitted to ODU do not automatically qualify for financial aid. All students who are suspended should contact their financial aid counseling team to discuss their options.

Students who are readmitted for a particular semester and choose not to enroll in that semester are required to resubmit their application for readmission.

Students who enroll in classes and then decide not to return prior to the start of the semester are responsible for dropping their classes.Failure to drop classes will result in tuition charges.

If you do not remember your University Identification Number (UIN) to complete the form below, then you may recover your UIN here.
