Re-Admission to Millikin

Students who have voluntarily withdrawn or who have been suspended from Millikin and wish to return to the University must apply for re-admission online.

Students must have a completed application on file and be approved for re-admission no later than three weeks prior to the start of the term for which they are requesting admission.

A personal statement on why the student wishes to return to Millikin must accompany all applications. Students who are applying after being academically suspended need to outline the reasons they believe the grades earned were not indicative of their academic ability and how they plan to improve their academic record should they be re-admitted to Millikin.

All applications for re-admission must meet the following criteria for approval: 1. The Director of the Office of Student Financial Services must approve all students applying for re-admission. All outstanding balances must be paid before re-admission can be considered. 2. If a student has completed additional academic work after leaving Millikin, an official transcript must be received by the Office of the Registrar prior to any action being taken on the student's re-admission application. 3. Suspended Students seeking re-admission will have their credentials reviewed for re-admission by the Council on Students and Academic Standards Admission Committee. 4. Students who were eligible for financial aid before leaving Millikin must meet progress requirements as stated in the Bulletin under the Financial Aid section regarding progress required for continued eligibility. The Office of Student Financial Services will review all re-admission applications for eligibility. There is no guarantee that aid received by the student prior to leaving Millikin will be at the same level or distribution between gift assistance, loans, or work-study.

See requirements specific for individual graduate programs in the appropriate section of the Graduate Bulletin for that school.
