Previously matriculated students who wish to return to the University can do so in one of the ways listed below. Students will be subject to the catalog and graduation requirements in place at the time of return.
Reinstatement
Reinstatement
After voluntarily withdrawing, students may request Reinstatement. The University offers 36 majors currently, several of which may not have been available when you last attended. We invite to browse through the current undergraduate programs as you consider returning to Framingham State to complete your bachelor's degree.
Readmission
Readmission
Students separated from the University for academic reasons may apply for Readmission.
The University offers 36 majors currently, several of which may not have been available when you last attended. We invite to browse through the current undergraduate programs as you consider returning to Framingham State to complete your bachelor's degree.
Readmission after Academic Suspension:
- If a student has been suspended from the University for academic reasons, the student may request readmission. Applications for such readmission will be reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee.
- Students who, for academic reasons, are suspended a second time are not eligible for readmission except under the Fresh Start Policy.
- Students who have been suspended 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
Academic Fresh Start Policy
Any student who has 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 is 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.
- The student supplies evidence of personal growth during the period of separation, in the form of two letters of recommendation.
The University offers 36 majors currently, several of which may not have been available when you last attended. We invite to browse through the current undergraduate programs as you consider returning to Framingham State to complete your bachelor's degree.
Applicants to Fresh Start will be reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee (ASC). Applications will be due August 1st for Fall semester and December 1st for Spring semester. When a student is 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 transfer credit toward graduation requirements but will not factor into the student’s 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 a student exercises the Fresh Start, it may not be rescinded. The student’s academic transcript will note the readmission status as Academic Fresh Start along with the semester the status commenced.
