Former Illinois State Students Frequently Asked Questions

I last attended Illinois State University and was dismissed three semesters ago. How can I get back in?

You must be readmitted and reinstated to the University. In order to do this you must:

  • Meet university-wide readmission requirements and deadlines.
  • Be reinstated by the University Reinstatement Committee.

The Undergraduate Application for Admission is available online or by calling (800) 366-2478. As a former Illinois State student, you will not need to pay the application fee.

Complete and submit an Undergraduate Application for Admission and select “Readmission” in the “Admission Category” section on page A1. In addition to the admission application, you must also include a concise, one-page, Petition for Reinstatement. You can submit your petition online. The Petition for Reinstatement must outline your thoughtful plan to earn higher grades. In addition, you may attach relevant documentation which accounts for previous failure to achieve good academic standing. Your petition and all supporting documents will be reviewed by the Reinstatement Committee.

If you have attended another institution of higher education since your dismissal from Illinois State, you must indicate such attendance on the readmission application and supply an official transcript from the other school(s). You must have earned a C average (2.00/4.00) or higher for all course work taken since last attending Illinois State and have been in good academic standing at the last institution attended as a full- or part-time student.

Please note : Repeated failures to do satisfactory work may result in permanent exclusion from the University.

I heard something about a program offered where I can get a "fresh start" once I return to Illinois State. Is there such a program?

You’ve heard about the New Start program. Visit the web site to learn more information.
