Conditional Readmission

Degree-seeking students who left The College of New Jersey with a grade point average below 2.0 (or below the required average for their intended program of study) may apply for readmission to TCNJ under the Conditional Readmission Policy. To be eligible for consideration under this policy, a student must not have been enrolled at TCNJ for a period of at least three years and must provide evidence that the problems responsible for his or her initial failure at TCNJ have been resolved. Applicants should apply to the Office of Admissions by March 1 for fall readmission and November 1 for spring readmission. The committee tasked to hear admissions appeals will review applications for Conditional Readmission. The Dean of the appropriate School to which the candidate seeks admission will also review and approve the application.

Those approved shall be conditionally admitted and allowed to take 24 semester hours under this status. The student will be assigned to the appropriate office for advisement, so that courses can be scheduled that will meet the internal transfer requirements of the intended major/program of study. At the completion of 24 semester hours, students will be re-reviewed for full admission to TCNJ. For those granted full admission, no grades received for previous academic work prior to conditional readmission will be included in the calculation for current GPA, and only academic work with grades of C or better will be credited toward requirements for the present degree program. The student’s historical transcript will remain intact, but grades from previous work prior to conditional readmission will not be factored into the student’s grade-point average. Students may utilize this policy one time. To receive a bachelor’s degree, and any honors associated with it, under this policy, a student must complete a minimum of 42 semester hours at The College of New Jersey. Once the student has been re-evaluated and received full admission, the student must complete his or her degree in accordance with this policy.
