Readmitted Students

Wolverines are always welcome back. If you started – or were accepted into – one of our programs in the past and are looking to pick up where you left off, you are considered a returning student. 

There are two types of returning students at UM-Dearborn: 

  • Readmitted - previously enrolled as a degree-seeking student, but did not take classes within the past calendar year
  • Reactivated – admitted to UM-Dearborn within the past year, but never enrolled

This page provides specific details based on your situation.

Undergraduate Student Readmission Process

The readmission process for undergraduate students varies by college. We encourage you to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor within your specific college before reapplying.

Additional Steps for Readmitted Undergraduates

In addition to speaking with your academic advisor, you should also prepare to: 

  • Take care of any current registration holds at UM-Dearborn
  • Submit updated college transcripts, if applicable
  • Apply for financial aid, if applicable
  • Be mindful of application deadlines for your intended term

Undergraduate Student Reactivation Process 

If you were admitted to UM-Dearborn in the past year but never enrolled, you may reactivate your admission. To get started, complete an Admission Information Change Form [PDF] and submit it to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. 

If you were admitted more than one calendar year ago, you must reapply for admission.
