Returning Students


Welcome Back to the U

Returning students are those who were previously enrolled at the University of Utah as a degree-seeking student but have been discontinued. If you deferred your admission or had a Leave of Absence approved, you do NOT need to submit an application. Instead, log into CIS.utah.edu to complete your steps to return.

Discontinuation occurs if you don’t maintain continuous enrollment (excluding summer term) or file a Leave of Absence.

Ready to get back on track? Connect with your Admissions Counselor today to get started on your return to the U.

  1. Review Admissions Standards

    If you have enrolled in courses at another institution following your most recent enrollment at the University of Utah, you are expected to have maintained a transferable GPA of 2.6 or higher. Transferable GPA does not include remedial courses, credit received from non-regionally accredited institutions, credit awarded by exam (AP, IB, CLEP, FLATS, etc.), or credit which duplicates courses previously completed at the University of Utah.

    If you were suspended or on academic probation during your previous enrollment at the University of Utah, you must satisfy all terms of the suspension/probation agreement prior to readmission. Please meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center to obtain a release from suspension/probation.

    All applications are evaluated in the order in which they are received, and notification of admissions decisions are sent on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

  2. Submit Your Application

    Be sure to fill out the application completely, as it will be used to determine your:

    • Admissibility
    • Residency for tuition purposes

    Once you’ve started your application, you will be able to save and continue at any time until submitted.

    If you are an international student, click here for more information.

  3. Pay the Application Fee

    The application fee is $55 for undergraduate domestic students and $65 for undergraduate international students. It is not refundable.

    Applicants from Utah will have their application fee automatically waived. The application fee may be waived for out-of-state applicants who provide documentation of financial hardship, as well as Military-Connected students (meaning a student is an active military member, veteran, or the dependent of an active military member or veteran).
