What conditions are placed on re-admission?

There is no guarantee of re-admission. Re-admission is always subject to space being available and past academic performance.

There is a limit to the time you can take to complete your program, starting from when you were first admitted. For example, if you were admitted to year one of a four-year program, you have a maximum of eight years to complete it. Exceptions can be made on an appeal basis to the appropriate Dean. Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment can provide you with more information.

If you were away for an extended period of time, there may be concern about whether you are up-to-date with any changes in your curriculum/field. You may have to repeat some courses or fulfill the outstanding requirements by course substitution.
