Applying for Readmission to Purchase College

Important Information:

• The decision to readmit is not an automatic one.  A student must be readmitted by the Office of the Registrar and by the program of interest before enrollment can be permitted. See re-admission form and procedures.
• Students must clear any flags (obligations to the College)  prior to readmission.  Check for flags here.
• Students readmitted to the College must meet with their advisors and register for courses prior to the last day of the add/drop period. (See Academic Calendar for dates).
• Students are responsible for full tuition payment at the time of registration.  Questions regarding tuition and payment deadlines should be directed to the Office of Student Accounts, (914) 251-6080.
• Students interested in financial aid and/or housing must apply to the appropriate offices.  No requests for financial aid or housing will be processed until a readmission decision has been officially made.
