Readmission

Applying for Readmission to UC San Diego

If you have not been enrolled in classes at UC San Diego for two or more quarters, you will need to apply for readmission. The Readmission Application along with deadlines for each term is available online at https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/enroll/special-enrollment/readmission-to-ucsd.html

*Please note that Tuberculosis (TB) screening is a university admission requirement for all newly readmitted students. Visit the Student Health Services website for detailed instructions to clear the requirement so that you can avoid a hold on your record and enroll in classes in a timely manner.

If you left UC San Diego with a hold placed by the Dean of Student Affairs

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

  1. Submit an 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 left the university, with an academic status of Academic Probation or Subject to Disqualification, your readmission will be reviewed by Academic Advising and we will send you information regarding your academic status.
  4. You will be required to clear any holds on your record before the readmission process can be completed.
  5. If you have attended another college or university since you were at UC San Diego, send official transcripts to the UCSD Admissions Office for posting to your TritonLink account.  Unofficial copies must be attached to your appeal form.
