New Start Program
The New Start program is offered to students who wish to return to Illinois State after being away for a minimum of one year and who left with less than a 2.0 grade point average.
New Start offers students many benefits upon their return. Most significantly, it allows students to begin a NEW cumulative grade point average upon readmission into the University. To discuss your eligibility to return via the New Start Program, contact the Julia N. Visor Academic Center at (309) 438-7100.
