Former UC Davis undergraduate students, who have not been degree awarded and wish to resume undergraduate studies, may apply for readmission. This includes students who have canceled/withdrawn or have been administratively withdrawn from the university.
Students on the Planned Educational Leave Program (PELP) should not apply for readmission unless they did not return as scheduled from their approved PELP leave.
The Readmission Application must be completed and submitted online. There is a non-transferable/non-refundable $70.00 application fee* that is assessed to the student's account.
* Students returning from United States military service and Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) eligible students are not required to pay the application fee. Students returning from US military service must upload a copy of their active-duty paperwork along with their Readmission Application. Eligible EOP students are not presented with payment information.
Readmission deadlines:
- Fall: August 31st
- Winter: October 31st
- Spring: January 31st
When the readmission application has been submitted and the fee has been assessed, a confirmation email is sent through MyMessages through myucdavis. Former students who cannot access MyMessages, need to provide an alternate email address when completing the application. The college Dean’s Office reviews the student's file and sends a decision email to the student. Response time from the college Dean’s Office varies and is dependent on the student's academic standing, and receipt of transcripts or other required items. Students approved for readmission are activated for the readmit term and assigned pass times by the Office of the University Registrar.
Students approved for readmission should review the Readmission Checklist, below, and complete all steps to gain access to registration and successfully return to the university.
Students who have completed any college or university coursework while away from UC Davis must submit an official transcript to their college Dean’s Office and an additional official copy to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Failure to do so by the end of the readmitted term results in a registration hold for future registration.
Students should read the California Residence for Purposes of Tuition information to determine if a Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) is required after being approved for readmission.
