3-5. Readmission
Readmission
- Re-enrollment at APU refers to the system that allows students who withdrew or were expelled due to unpaid tuition fees to apply for re-entry into the college they were previously enrolled in. If a student passes the screening and completes all application procedures by the deadline, the student may be re-enrolled. Applications must be submitted within three years from the final day of the semester when the student has faced withdrawal / expulsion.
- Screening will comprehensively evaluate the student’s academic record, disciplinary history, and compliance with immigration laws.
- If readmission is approved, the student is required to pay the full tuition fee for one semester.
-
Credits earned during the period of enrollment prior to withdrawal or registry removal are, in principle, carried over. However, if the curriculum in effect at the time of readmission differs from that at the time of initial enrollment, the previously earned courses may be transferred under different course titles or academic fields, or the credits may not be carried over.
Please refer to the information below to confirm which curriculum will apply to you after reenrollment.[Curriculum following Reenrollment]
Your curriculum following reenrollment is determined by calculating what would have been your curriculum in your first semester, based on your semester upon reenrollment. The calculation formula is shown below.Semester of Reenrollment Calculation Formula 1: Spring Year of reenrollment – (Semester upon reenrollment ÷ 2) +0.5 2: Fall Year of reenrollment – (Semester upon reenrollment ÷ 2) +1.0 *Ignore decimals.
■ Curriculum Results
- Calculated result is less than 2023 ⇒ 2017 Curriculum
- Calculated result is greater than or equal to 2023 ⇒ 2023 Curriculum
■ Calculation Method Examples
-
Student who will reenroll in their 8th semester in the AY 2026 Spring Semester
2026 - (8÷2) + 0.5 = 2022.5
2022 < 2023 (Ignore decimals)
⇒ 2017 Curriculum Student -
Student who will reenroll in their 8th semester in the AY 2026 Fall Semester
2026 - (8÷2) + 1.0 = 2023
2023 ≥ 2023
⇒ 2023 Curriculum Student
