Policy: Former graduate students who have not maintained continuous enrollment (summers excluded), but
who are academically eligible to continue in the degree programs in which they were most recently enrolled,
may be permitted to return into the degree program and major they were in when they last attended Clemson
University Graduate School. No fee is required for re-entrance into the Graduate School. For more details, see
the Graduate School Policies & Procedures Handbook.
Re-Entrance Information
NONDEGREE: Re-entrance as a nondegree-seeking student is restricted to those who have previously submitted a nondegree graduate
application and have enrolled as a nondegree student. It is intended for those who may benefit professionally from additional study at the
graduate level. A re-entrance form is required if the student has not maintained continuous enrollment (summers excluded) after the initial
nondegree application has been submitted and coursework taken. Nondegree students may not be candidates for advanced degrees and may
not receive financial assistance. Should the student subsequently be admitted to a degree program, a maximum of 12 semester hours of
graduate credit (non-degree and/or transfer) may be applied toward the degree. This classification is not open to international students.
Students who were not enrolled as a nondegree-seeking student within the past six years are considered new applicants and must submit a new
application, application fee, and all supporting materials to the Office of Graduate Admissions, E-209 Martin Hall.
DEGREE-SEEKING: Former graduate students who have not maintained continuous enrollment (summers excluded), but who are eligible to
continue in the degree programs in which they were most recently enrolled, may be permitted to return.
A student in good academic standing (who has a minimum 3.0 GPA and who has successfully met other program or Graduate School
requirements) who must interrupt a graduate program may request a leave of absence from graduate study. A leave of absence may be granted
for up to 12 months, with a possible renewal of up to one additional 12-month period.
Students who were not enrolled within the past six years are considered new applicants and must submit a new application, application fee, and
all supporting materials via https://www.applyweb.com/clemsong/index.ftl to the Office of Graduate Admissions, E-209 Martin Hall.
Students who have earned a graduate degree from Clemson and wish to pursue another graduate degree must apply through the Office of
Graduate Admissions, E-209 Martin Hall.
Former graduate students who wish to return to pursue an undergraduate degree should contact the Registrar’s Office, 102 Sikes Hall, for
procedures.
