Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the readmission application due?

  • Unlike admission to UC Davis, the readmission process is not competitive but it is rather determined based on specific criteria regarding your academic record and personal circumstances. You are encouraged to apply at least 8-10 weeks before the beginning of the quarter you plan to return. The deadlines to apply for readmission are as follows:

    Fall: August 31            

    Winter: October 31 

    Spring: January 31

  • What happens after I submit my readmission application?

  • 1. Be prepared to pay the processing fee. This fee is managed by the Office of the University Registrar (OUR). Please visit their website for more details about how to pay.

    2. If you have already met with your major advisor or intended major advisor and obtained an approved academic plan, a CA&ES Dean’s Office academic advisor will review your application and follow up with you regarding next steps.

    3. If you have not yet met with your major advisor or intended major advisor you will be asked to obtain an updated academic plan. Readmission cannot be approved without an updated academic plan.

If you have a prior term balance, a hold will be placed on your student account, which will prevent registration.  Ensure any previous balances are paid so that your registration is not delayed.
