Students in Academic Suspension are not able to enroll in UD courses as admitted students for at least one semester, though they may choose to extend that time away before applying for readmission. To be eligible for readmission, in addition to the required time away, they must meet with an Academic Success Coach in the UD Office of Academic Enrichment and complete an Academic Success Plan. It is recommended that students meet with an Academic Success Coach at least 4-6 weeks prior to the start of the semester during which they would like to return. Readmission to the former major is not guaranteed.
If you are academically suspended from the University and wish to continue to take UD courses, the ACCESS Center is here to help. We offer advisement, registration assistance and major exploration/career counseling for students wishing to take courses through Professional and Continuing Studies while in a non-admitted status prior to readmission.
Taking Courses as a Continuing Education, Non-Degree (CEND) Student
- Students are permitted to take a maximum of seven credits per semester/session.
- CEND is the classification for students taking UD courses non-admitted status. Students may enroll in University of Delaware courses for which they have the requisites and which are not restricted. Students’ enrolled courses are listed on their University of Delaware academic record and contribute to the cumulative GPA and total credits.
- Readmission into restricted majors may require a specific GPA and/or specific course requirements. It is important to check with your college regarding readmission.
- Students are not eligible for federal financial aid (FAFSA) since they are not currently admitted in a degree program.
- Students may be eligible for alternative, educational loans, and the installment payment option is available through Student Financial Services during fall and spring semesters.
To get started as a Continuing Education student, schedule an appointment with an ACCESS Center academic advisor by emailing access-advise@udel.edu.
Academically suspended students are required to meet with an academic advisor before beginning to take courses as Continuing Education students. This initial appointment is a great opportunity for students to become acquainted with their new advisor and begin conversations regarding their educational goals and developing a plan for academic success.
