Applying for Readmission
First, you'll need to determine what sort of readmission applicant you are. Did you leave UT in good academic standing? Did you leave while on academic review? Or did you leave because you were academically dismissed from UT? Read on.
Former Students in Good Standing
Did you attend the University of Tennessee for at least one semester and leave in good academic standing? If so, you will be automatically re-admitted upon receipt of your application. If you have attended another institution, please have a copy of your transcript mailed directly to UT so that transfer credit of coursework completed may be awarded. However, processing of your application will not be held while we wait for your transcripts to arrive.
Step 1: Obtain an application for Readmission. Readmission applicants may not apply online. Your options are as follows:
Step 2: No fee is required. Complete and return the application to:
Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Records

Step 3: If you have taken any college course work since leaving UT, please have each institution you attended send an official transcript. However, processing of your application will not be held for the transcripts to arrive.
Step 4: Wait 2-3 weeks for an admissions decision to be made. If it is close to the beginning of the semester in which you plan to enroll, you may go through "walk-through" admissions by coming to the office, completing an application, and waiting while an admissions counselor processes your application on site.
