Returning after an approved leave of absence
If you have taken an approved leave of absence, you need to notify CDes of your intent to return. Complete an application for readmission and submit it to CDes Student Services.

Returning following academic suspension
If you were placed on and have served a one-year academic suspension and now wish to resume your studies at the University of Minnesota, you need to follow the instructions that were included in your suspension notice. The instructions are also available online.

Returning from inactive status
If your current student status at the University is "inactive" and you wish to resume coursework here, you will need to submit an application for readmission.  However, you must meet the admissions requirements for the major to be readmitted, and if the major has limited space, you may have to go through the competitive admission process (held once a year). Each situation is different, depending upon space in the major and your academic record, and is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
