Readmission Policy
Purpose
This policy establishes the conditions and procedures under which former students of Freedom College of Excellence may return to resume their studies.
It ensures that returning students are academically prepared to succeed and that their re-entry complies with current academic and financial aid standards.
Policy Statement
Students who have disrupted their enrollment for more than one academic year (two consecutive semesters, excluding summer) must apply for readmission. Students who withdrew or were dismissed must also follow this process.
1. Eligibility for Readmission
To be eligible for readmission, a student must:
- Be in good academic standing (cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher).
- Have no outstanding financial balance with the College (Bursar's Office).
- Have no unresolved disciplinary issues (Dean of Students).
2. Readmission Process
- Submit Application: Complete the "Application for Readmission" at least 30 days before the start of the term.
- Transcripts: If the student attended another institution during the absence, official transcripts must be provided.
- Catalog Year: Readmitted students will typically be placed under the catalog requirements in effect at the time of their return.
3. Title IV & Financial Aid
Readmission does not guarantee financial aid eligibility. Returning students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards. If a student left due to SAP failure, they must submit a SAP Appeal for aid consideration.
4. Special Considerations
5. Appeals
Students denied readmission due to academic reasons may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee. The committee's decision is final.
