Tulane University: Admission
2008-2009 Academic Year
19
SPECIAL ADMISSION CATEGORIES
Admission as a Special Student
Students who must pursue college work part-time and those students interested in
non-degree status are encouraged to seek admission to the School of Continuing
Studies. (See the School of Continuing Studies section for details.)
Those already holding a baccalaureate degree may be admitted as special students
on a part-time basis for the purpose of pursuing an additional degree and are
governed by curricular regulations in effect at the time of their readmission.
Graduates who want only additional coursework (i.e., not seeking a second
degree) should apply to the School of Continuing Studies.
Admission as a Guest Student
Sophomores and juniors in good standing at other accredited institutions may
enroll full-time for one or two semesters in the undergraduate divisions of Tulane
University as guest students. These students must have the approval of their deans
at their home schools and are subject to the regulations for special students. Guest
students wishing to change their status to degree-seeking must have their
academic records re-evaluated prior to admission to the university.
READMISSION TO TULANE UNIVERSITY
Students Returning to Tulane after an Absence
A student whose studies have been interrupted without the benefit of an
authorized leave of absence must file a readmission application with the
Newcomb-Tulane College dean's office at least four weeks prior to the date of the
desired reenrollment.
If the student has attended another regionally accredited institution while away
from Tulane, a statement of good standing and an official transcript showing all
college or university coursework attempted or in progress during the absence
must accompany the application for readmission. Transfer credit for such
coursework is subject to approval by the appropriate Tulane departments. Credit
earned at 2-year colleges will not be accepted for transfer once a student has
matriculated at Tulane. Students who voluntarily left Tulane and are readmitted
within one year will return under the degree requirements in effect for them at the
time of their departure. Readmitted students who involuntarily left the university
or are readmitted after having been away more than one year are subject to the
curricular requirements in effect at the time of readmission. All readmitted
students must complete the last 30 credits for the degree while in residence in the
division. They may not participate in priority registration and will not receive
registration materials until after their readmission has been processed.
