Overview

University Withdrawal

Students who desire to officially withdraw from Bethel must contact their student success advisor and submit an official withdrawal form. In addition, students who do not enroll for more than one year (three consecutive academic terms) are considered inactive and will need to submit a re-enrollment application to resume their program. 

University Re-Enrollment

Former students must file an application for re-enrollment. They should contact the Office of Student Success and Retention to learn more and start this process. Former students who have a registration hold on their account from the Business Office are not eligible to seek re-enrollment until the hold is resolved. All requests to re-enroll must be approved by the program director or dean of the program the returning student wishes to pursue.

Re-enrolling students who had officially withdrawn will re-enter under the catalog of the year in which they re-enroll.

Students will re-enroll at the academic standing assigned for their last term of enrollment, with the exception of students who were academically dismissed. (See Re-enrollment after Academic Dismissal below for further information)

Re-Enrollment after Academic Dismissal

Academically dismissed students are eligible to apply for re-enrollment no sooner than the third term after the term of their academic dismissal or last term of registration. If approved to re-enroll, students may resume coursework no sooner than the fourth term after the term of their academic dismissal or the last term of registration.

Students who are approved to re-enroll after academic dismissal will return on an academic standing equivalent to the second term of academic probation. Students must achieve the minimum cumulative GPA required for good standing at the end of their first term of re-enrollment. The one exception is for re-enrolled students who, in their first term of re-enrollment, achieve the minimum required term GPA for good standing. They will not be dismissed even if their cumulative GPA at the end of that term is below good standing. In this case, the student's academic standing remains equivalent to that of a second term of academic probation for no more than one additional term.

Specific academic programs may have different dismissal and re-enrollment policies than listed above. These requirements would be listed with program information and/or the student handbook.
