Admissions Requirements

If you have not attended Illinois State for one or more semesters (excluding summer session), you must apply for readmission online by visiting Welcome2ISU. There is no application fee for former Illinois State students applying for the same level of degree.

Readmission Standards

If you left Illinois State in good academic standing:

• Apply online for readmission.
• Send official transcripts from any other college or university you attended since leaving Illinois State.

Minimum 2.0 GPA required for all college coursework completed since leaving Illinois State, although many majors require higher GPA standards and prerequisite college coursework for admission. Find out the prerequisites and GPA guidelines for your major.

If you left Illinois State on probation or were dismissed:

• You may be considered for reinstatement or for the New Start readmission program. Supplemental information may be requested to determine eligibility. 
• If you were dismissed for disciplinary reasons, contact the Community Rights and Responsibilities Office for disciplinary clearance.

What about my major?

As a former Illinois State University undergraduate student, you are automatically admitted into your previous major, provided that you were in good academic standing when you left the University.

If you wish to change your major, you must meet minimum grade point average requirements and course prerequisites for admission into some majors.
