Readmission Application Process

• If you have attended any college or university since you were last enrolled at Florida A&M University, you must have a 2.00 or higher average (as computed by FAMU) on all work attempted at each institution. Be aware that grades received at other institutions are not averaged with grades received at FAMU for the purpose of meeting this university's grade point average requirements. You also must be in good standing and eligible to return to each institution previously attended.
• Returning students who attend another institution of higher education since you were last enrolled at Florida A&M University must submit transcripts from all accredited institutions for credit evaluation and determination of continued admissibility.
• You must disclose any misconduct you have experienced scholastically since your last enrollment at Florida A&M University. Your application for readmission may be denied if there is failure to comply.
• If you are not pursuing a 2nd bachelor's degree, you will be asked to indicate the academic program of your last enrollment at Florida A&M University, and you will be readmitted into the academic program last enrolled. The Admissions Office does not change academic programs for returning students who are not pursuing a 2nd bachelor's degree. You must contact the University Registrar’s Office at 850.599.3115 for academic program change procedures.
• The Admissions Office does not change names or residency for returning students. You must contact the University Registrar’s Office at 850.599.3115 for name and residency change procedures. Students residing outside of the State of Florida for more than twelve continuous months may be required to provide documentation of their residency status.
• The undergraduate readmission application is available online only. Applications must be received in the Office of Admissions by the readmission deadline shown above. A $20 nonrefundable application fee is required.

3. Second suspension: Student will sit out one semester and complete an Academic Plan of Study with their academic advisor. The Advisor will send an email to the Registrar’s Office at registrar@famu.edu to have the suspension hold removed.
4. Final suspension: Student has to sit out an entire year. When the student returns to the university, they will need to  complete an Academic Plan of Study with their advisor. The advisor will then send an email to the Registrar’s Office at registrar@famu.edu.
