Readmission
Former students of the University must apply for readmission
to the University before registering for courses. Active status at the
University is maintained only if the student registers in every semester
through the completion of the degree level to which he/she was
admitted, and if registration is sustained beyond the Census Date in
every semester.
Readmission to the University is required if a former
student is withdrawn from the University, left the University without
filing a "Leave of Absence" form with the Office of Registrar, or if the
student failed to register at the University before the expiration date
of an approved leave of absence. Readmitted students must satisfy the
requirements of the College/School/Program which are in force at the
time of their re-entry into that College/School/Program.
The readmission of a student who has withdrawn from the
School of Nursing and Health Professions will depend on space availability. Currently enrolled
students receive priority over readmission applicants or transfer
students. The student must inform the School of Nursing and Health Professions of his/her
intent 90 days before returning.
Veterans
Eligible veterans may enter any of the schools or colleges
of the University of San Francisco to take day or evening courses
through any of the Department of Veterans Affairs educational assistance
or vocational rehabilitation programs. Information pertaining to
educational benefits may be obtained by contacting the Department of
Veteran Affairs at 1(888) 442-4551 or by accessing the main Veterans
Affairs website at www.gibill.va.gov
Once the proper Veterans Affairs forms have been filed and
eligibility has been established, the Office of the University Registrar
at USF is responsible for providing certification of enrollment to the
Veterans Affairs Regional Office. The Registrar's VA representative can
be reached at (415) 422-6716.
Admission of Special Status Students
A special status student is one who takes a modified course
of study for credit, but is not required to follow a particular
curriculum leading to a degree at this University. Formal application
for admission as a special student must be filed with the Office of
Admission.
Special student status may be granted to applicants who meet
the University's regular admission standards. Prior to the end of the
semester, he/she must meet with the dean of his/her college to receive
permission to continue in this category and to obtain an outline of
his/her course of study for the ensuing semester. A special student who
wishes to change to regular status must petition the dean of his/her
college and, if accepted, will be expected to complete all general and
particular subject requirements for a degree.
Visiting Student Status
A student classified as a visitor is one who is not formally
admitted to the University but who is permitted to attend classes. A
student in this category must apply as a Visiting Student to register
for not more than 8 credits per semester on a space-available basis. A
visitor is not aligned with a college and is not seeking a USF degree. A
visitor is required to seek permission to enroll through the Office of
Admission. To renew this status, the student must reapply through the
Office of Admission each subsequent semester. Completed course work
taken by students with visitor status may not count toward a USF degree
without formal acceptance to the University.
Admission with GED
Students will be considered for admission on the basis of
GED (General Education Development) test results on a
case-by-case-basis. A minimum score at the 80th percentile or higher is
required on each of the five subject areas.
