Returning After an Absence
All students returning to the University of Lethbridge after an absence of one or more fall or winter terms must apply for readmission according to current application procedures and deadlines.
Applicants who were previously admitted to the University, left after completing one or more terms, and have not completed any transferable courses at another institution during the absence will be considered for readmission to their previous program of study in accordance with the policies of the relevant Faculty (refer to the Admission information in the applicable Faculty part of the Calendar).
Applicants who are seeking readmission to a different program of studies or who have completed transferable courses at another post-secondary institution during the absence must meet current admission requirements for the program they are intending to pursue (see Post-Secondary Admission Route and Step 2: Meet Additional Admission Requirements).
If readmitted, applicants who were on academic probation upon leaving the University will be readmitted on condition of academic probation. See the corresponding Calendar section for the appropriate Faculty for more information.
