Readmit Student Applicants
Readmit Student applicants were formerly enrolled full-time at Gallaudet for at least one semester, but have since withdrew or were discontinued for any reason. Readmit Student applicants must re-apply through the Registrar's Office. Readmission procedures are described in the Registration and Policies chapter of the catalog.
There are three types of Readmit Student applicants:
- students who have left the University and want to readmit to complete their degree;
- students who graduated from the University and want to apply for a second degree;
- and students who have enrolled in the University, but left to graduate at another university and returned to apply for a second degree.
Note: Students who have never been enrolled in the University and are seeking a second degree should apply through the Office of Admissions. For more information, please refer to the Second Degree page.
Standard readmit procedures require that students submit a Readmit Student application, $50 application processing fee, and ensure that all debts are cleared. Some readmit types require additional documents. See each type and description listed below and the required supplemental documents.

Applicants who were suspended or dismissed for an academic reason should follow standard readmit procedures. Readmits should include any college transcripts attended while away from Gallaudet, an Academic Appeal Form, and two letters of recommendations from faculty, counselors, advisors, employers, or community leaders.
