Applying for Readmission to UC San Diego

If you have not been enrolled in classes at UC San Diego for two full quarters, you must apply for readmission. The Readmission Application is available at the Registrar's office or online. You must complete the application process at least one month before the quarter you wish to return to allow time for processing and timely course enrollment.

Click on your situation for further instructions:

  1. You left UC San Diego with a hold placed by the Dean of Student Affairs
  2. You left UC San Diego on your own volition, i.e. were NOT academically disqualified (dismissed)
  3. You were dismissed from UC San Diego for failing to meet the Entry Level Writing (Subject A) Requirement
  4. You were academically disqualified (dismissed) from UC San Diego OR left while on a Final Quarter Contract

You must contact that office to have the hold lifted to process your application for readmission. ERC Student Affairs can be reached at 858-534-2237.


If you left UC San Diego on your own volition, i.e. you were NOT academically disqualified (dismissed):

  1. Submit a Online Readmission Application and pay the required fee.
  2. If you left the university in good standing, a review by the advising office will not be required.
  3. If you were Subject to Dismissal upon leaving the university, your readmission will be reviewed by Academic Advising so that we may generate a new academic contract for your quarter of return.
  4. You will be required to clear any holds on your record before the readmission process can be completed.

If you were dismissed from UC San Diego for failing to meet the Entry Level Writing (Subject A) Requirement:

  3. After you pass the Redemption Exam, submit a Readmission Application with the Registrar's Office and pay the required fee. They will require approval from Academic Advising to readmit you. You will be required to clear any holds on your record before the readmission process can be completed.

You may be able to view your dismissal letter through the Virtual Advising Center (VAC), a secured site which requires your UC San Diego PID and PAC. The letter outlines the requirements that must be met in your particular case to be considered for readmission. If your letter is not posted and you no longer have a copy, contact our office and we can review your status with you.
  5. ERC Advising will contact you with any questions about your Readmission Appeal Form. Please check the VAC for information we may post on it.
  6. Check the VAC for your new academic contract. You will be responsible for understanding and meeting the terms of the contract in order to be allowed to return to UC San Diego.
  7. The Registrar's Office will contact you when the process is complete with instructions as to how you can enroll in your classes.
  8. Be sure to pay all fees on time!
