Readmission Application Deadlines

Readmission Requirements

Students who have been dismissed twice from the college will not be granted readmission until they have raised their cumulative G.P.A. to the equivalent of a 2.0 through the non-matriculated student process .

If a student was originally dismissed for plagiarism, readmission may be denied for up to five years.

Special Consideration Readmission Policy (Academic Amnesty)

Students applying for readmission to Plattsburgh after an absence of seven years or more may apply for academic amnesty by submitting a letter to the director of admissions. The letter should state reasons why student is requesting amnesty as well as short summary of what he/she has done after leaving Plattsburgh. An academic committee consisting of appropriate academic representatives reviews such cases. Committee members make their decision based on the following guidelines:

  1. A student may be readmitted under this policy only once
  2. A student who has not been enrolled in any courses at Plattsburgh during the previous seven years or more may opt to have all previous Plattsburgh coursework evaluated as transfer credits
  3. Students will receive credit for courses with grades C or better. Such courses will fulfill degree requirements but will not count towards overall GPA
  4. After readmission, a student's GPA will be computed based only on grades for subsequent courses taken at Plattsburgh. The student's academic record prior to readmission will remain unchanged.
