Undergraduate Students With a GPA Under 2.00

Readmission for students with a GPA below 2.00 occurs only during the fall and spring semesters through an appeal process. To begin the appeal process, e-mail academicstanding@brooklyn.cuny.edu to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor. Be sure to note "Readmission appeal for below 2.00 GPA" in the subject line of your e-mail. Please note the deadline to submit an appeal for readmission for Summer 2023 is May 16, 2023, therefore you should meet with an advisor well in advance of this deadline.

Graduate Students

Students who have completed a master's degree or advanced certificate or attended only as a graduate nonmatriculated / nondegree student at Brooklyn College must file with the Office of Graduate Admissions in order to continue to take graduate courses.

Graduates Who Have Met the Seven-year Limit

A master's degree or advanced certificate must be completed within seven years, beginning with the student's initial registration in any course pertaining to the program. The seven-year rule applies to any admission status: matriculated, matriculated with conditions, nonmatriculated, or nondegree.

Students who have been enrolled for more than seven years must submit an extension-of-time petition, and courses that were taken more than seven years ago must be evaluated and approved by the department and by CGAS.

CGAS petitions must be submitted and approved prior to begin readmitted to the college. Visit Academic Standing to learn about the process and how to begin the petition.

Graduate Students With a GPA Under 3.00

If at the time of your initial separation from the college your academic standing did not meet the college's standards for satisfactory academic progress, you are not eligible for automatic readmission. Prior to processing your application, your department chair will need to approve your application. If your department chair is sending approval through e-mail, the e-mail must originate from his Brooklyn College e-mail address.

Graduate Students Who Have Been Separated From the College for Two or More Years

If two or more years have passed since your initial separation from the college, you are not eligible for automatic readmission. This rule applies to any admission status: matriculated, matriculated with conditions, nonmatriculated, or nondegree. Prior to processing your application, your chairperson will need to approve your application.
