Re-Admission

Students who have not been in regular attendance or who have withdrawn from the university for more than one year but less than five years must:

• Apply for re-admission,

• Complete the admissions application,

• Pay the application fee, submit an enrollment agreement, and

• Submit official transcripts of any college work attempted in the interim. 

Students absent from the University for five years or more, must re-submit all the required admission documents, and pay the application fees required for new students prior to admission.

Students seeking re-admission must obtain clearance from the Office of Admissions and NHU Business Office prior to registering for courses.  Students will be notified in writing of their acceptance status.

Students are subject to the current catalog curriculum requirements at the time of re-admission.

Students on Academic Probation

Students who were on academic probation at the end of the last period of enrollment may be re-admitted but placed on probation for a term of one semester providing they are eligible.  They must also consult with their academic department advisor, prior to registering for courses.  If approved for registration by their advisor, student will only be allowed to register for 6 units*.  In addition, students must follow the Academic Probation Policies as stated in the “Grading and Academic Standards” section of this Catalog.

* At the discretion of Advisor student may be considered for additional units.

Re-instatement

Once the student is disqualified, he/she must go through an appeal process.  The appeal process constitutes a formal appeal letter from the student to the Provost with the following guidelines:

• Explaining extenuating circumstances which may have caused a disruption in satisfactory academic performance, and demonstrate that the negative circumstances have since been corrected; or

• Along with appeal letter, provide proof of mitigating or extenuating circumstances that caused a negative impact on satisfactory academic performance, and demonstrate that those conditions have since been corrected.

The Provost will review all appeals for re-instatement, and take into consideration recommendations of the Academic Coordinator, and the Registrar.  At this time, the Provost may either:

• Confirm the disqualification, but re-instate the student on a probationary status.

• Confirm the disqualification and deny re-instatement.

• Revoke the disqualification but only in cases of error, or in such cases where a student was unable to withdraw from the university due to circumstances beyond his or her control.

At the recommendation of the Provost, the Office of the Registrar will notify the student in writing.  If the appeal is accepted, the student must follow the following stipulations:

• Student may only take 6 units the first semester    upon returning to the University.

• Student must meet with his/her advisor every module.

• Upon the recommendation of the advisor, student must attend mandatory tutoring sessions at the Student Academic Assistance Center (SAAC).
