Welcome Back to Roosevelt

Former degree-seeking Roosevelt students who have not been enrolled for three consecutive semesters (excluding summer) must submit a Readmission Application to the Office of Admission. Students who have attended another college or university since last attending Roosevelt University must apply for readmission and send transcripts from all institutions attended to the Office of Admission.

How to reapply

  1. Submit an application for Readmission
  2. Submit transcripts from any colleges or universities attended after last attending Roosevelt. Please do not include Roosevelt or Robert Morris as listed schools or transcripts.
  3. Once your application is submitted, an admissions counselor will review your record and see if there are additional holds. These must be cleared before readmission to the university.
Graduate Applicants

If you are interested in returning to complete a graduate degree in which you were formerly enrolled, you will need to complete a readmission application using the instructions outlined above. Please note that our graduate programs have a time limit for when you can complete the degree after you initially enroll. For most of our master's level programs, this time limit is 6 years. You can review time to degree limits for your individual program in the graduate catalog

If you are interested in completing your degree outside of the approved window, your previous coursework will need to be evaluated by your program chair with approval from additional offices. You may need to re-take certain courses pending their determination. To begin the readmission process, submit an application for Readmission
