Readmission to Framingham State

Undergraduate students who voluntarily withdrew, or separated from the university for academic reasons, can apply for Readmission. Use the "Click here to apply!" link below to begin the application.

Readmission Applications are reviewed by the University Registrar and depending on circumstances for separation from the university, may be subject to further review of the Academic Standing Committee (ASC) and Student Affairs.

Students readmitted must follow the degree requirements stated in the University Catalog at the time of return or under special circumstances, the catalog in effect when they were first admitted.

Academic Fresh Start Policy

Undergraduate students separated from Framingham State University due to voluntary withdrawal in good standing with an overall grade point average at or above 1.70 and less than 2.00, or due to academic suspension/dismissal and had an overall grade point average below 2.00 at the time of separation are eligible to apply for readmission under the Fresh Start policy under certain conditions:

• The period of separation from the University must be at least two (2) consecutive semesters.
• You will supply evidence of personal growth during the period of separation, in the form of two letters of recommendation.

The University offers majors which may not have been available when last attended. We invite interested students to browse through the current undergraduate programs when considering a return to Framingham State to complete a bachelor's degree.

Applicants to Fresh Start will be reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee (ASC). Applications are due August 1st for Fall semester and December 1st for Spring semester. Students accepted under the Fresh Start Policy, the previous Grade Point Average (GPA) will be cleared. Only courses taken after Fresh Start readmission will count toward the GPA. Previous courses in which a grade of C- (1.7) or better was earned will count as credit toward graduation requirements but will not factor into the GPA. Under the Fresh Start policy, students must complete at least eight (8) FSU courses, five (5) in the major, with an overall GPA of 2.00 in order to receive an undergraduate degree from FSU. The Fresh Start policy may be exercised only once. Once the Fresh Start policy is exercised, it may not be rescinded. Academic transcripts will note the readmission status as Academic Fresh Start along with the semester the status commenced.
