Transfer applicants denied admission for a given semester may reapply for a subsequent semester, and should present new information that demonstrates an improved academic record. Students wait-listed or denied admission previously as high school students should be working toward completion of two semesters of rigorous academic courses, at the point of applying to UVM. Anyone reapplying must submit a new application and application fee, and update any academic information. Essays may be adjusted to reflect applicant’s recent activities. These individuals should contact the admissions office to discuss academic work that would improve their chances for admission.

Deferring Enrollment

Under certain conditions, candidates offered admission who choose not to attend in a given semester can defer entry for up to two semesters with permission of the admissions office (students offered Winter Cat admission are not eligible to defer). Students who defer admission are required to pay the acceptance fee for the semester to which they applied (an additional fee may be required) and may not enroll in another degree program at another college or university. Students who wish to defer admission for more than two semesters from the term of the original application will be asked to reapply for admission. After that period, or if the admitted candidate failed to request deferred admission, another application and fee must be filed for review by the admissions office.

Previously enrolled undergraduate students who were working toward a degree and who wish to return to the University, including students who left under academic dismissal or compassionate leave should follow the re-entry requirements as outlined here: Enrollment | University of Vermont Catalogue.

The online re-entry application, deadlines, and other details can be found on the Office of the Registrar's website under the Re-entry Students section. Email reentry@uvm.edu with any questions.
