Returning Students
The application process for returning students varies depending on how long you have been absent from the university.
International Students should contact the University's International Student and Scholar Services (isss@uiowa.edu) for information about immigration status and returning to the U.S.
- If you have been absent less than 12 months, contact your academic adviser about registering for classes.
- You can find your academic adviser in MyUI, or by Contacting the Office of Admissions.
- If you have been absent more than 12 months, you must apply for readmission to the university at least two weeks before classes begin.
- Apply Now for Readmission
- If you were dismissed for unsatisfactory scholarship, Contact Your College's Dean's Office for approval to reinstate. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students need to arrange a reinstatement interview with College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Programs. Interviews are held between March 1 and July 1 for fall reinstatement and between October 1 and December 1 for spring reinstatement.
