Walking across the UVM green in spring

Let's get back to work.

We define re-entry students as those who were previously undergraduates working toward a degree and who wish to return to the University of Vermont following a voluntary leave. If you are a re-entry student, please submit the online Re-entry Application.

Please note that Re-entry Applications for the current semester (fall/spring only) are not accepted after the first day of classes. Academic Calendar

If you are applying for re-entry following a dismissal or forced leave, please contact the Student Services team for the UVM college in which you intend to major (i.e. Arts and Sciences, Grossman School of Business, etc.).
