Readmissions


Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) students dismissed from a program for academic reasons will not be readmitted to that program. No student will be allowed readmission to any program after dismissal for disciplinary reasons.

A readmission is defined as a candidate who previously attended PHSU withdrew and requested admission to the same or another program after one year of inactivity.

Candidates with a withdrawal status returning to the same program inactive for less than a year will be considered re-entries.

PHSU will consider for readmission students who voluntarily withdrew from the program for medical or personal reasons and were in good standing or Satisfactory Academic Progress at the time of the withdrawal. Administrative withdrawals may be considered for readmission on a case-by-case evaluation basis, as long as the administrative withdrawal does not respond to a dismissal.

The application for readmission will be submitted to the Admissions Office, readmission applicants must meet all requirements at the time of application for readmission. Those students who were inactive less than a year will submit the re-entry application in the Registrar’s Office and must meet all the requirements at the time of application.

Readmissions and re-entry applications will be evaluated by a Readmissions Ad Hoc Committee composed by the Academic Department Dean or its delegate, the Student Affairs Vice President or its delegate and representation from the student services offices. After evaluation of readmissions by the Committee, the candidates who comply with basic requirements will be referred to the admissions committee for one of the following determinations:

A student readmitted to any program must abide by the curricular requirements and the rules and regulations in effect at the time of readmission.
