RETURNING STUDENTS
Students who have been enrolled and received a
grade notation in a course (see Academic Policies for
grade notations), but whose attendance was
interrupted for two or more regular semesters,
excluding summer, are required to file an application
for readmission by the admissions deadline of the
semester in which they wish to enroll. Students
seeking readmission must submit a $25 reapplication
fee (non-refundable). Students whose previous CSU-
Pueblo work resulted in a cumulative grade point
average below 2.000 (“C”) must also provide a written
statement detailing the previous academic difficulties,
the student’s plans to overcome these difficulties and
any other pertinent information to assist the
admissions committee in making a decision.
Students who are re-admitted after an absence of two
or more semesters excluding summers, are governed
upon readmission by the catalog current at the time of
readmission. Any exceptions to the policy must have
prior approval from the Provost. Degree-seeking
students who have attended another post-secondary
institution or have taken college-level correspondence
or extended studies courses must provide complete
official transcripts of such studies.
ACADEMIC RENEWAL
Undergraduate students who return to Colorado State
University-Pueblo after an absence of at least three
years and whose cumulative CSU-Pueblo grade point
average is below 2.000, are eligible for academic
renewal. Students who take advantage of the
Academic Renewal Policy will not have grade-point
averages carried forward upon readmission. Courses
with an earned grade of C or better are eligible to
count toward graduation. Students must be currently
enrolled for academic renewal to be processed.
Academic renewal will not be granted more than
once.
Any college credit earned more than 10 years before
the date of readmission is not applicable toward the
degree desired unless approved by the chair of the
department offering the course(s) [or equivalent(s)].
Students who elect academic renewal will be required
to complete at least 30 hours of credit after readmission
before they are eligible for a baccalaureate
degree.
Students who have been granted Academic Renewal
must complete 60 semester credits with CSU-Pueblo
after the Academic Renewal designation to qualify for
graduation with scholastic honors.
The Academic Renewal Application can be obtained
from the Records Office.
NON-DEGREE STUDENTS
Students may enroll at Colorado State University-
Pueblo as a non-degree seeking student in one of the
following categories.
Guest Student:
Special student status is reserved for applicants who
wish to enroll in courses without degree-seeking
status. Applicants who wish to register as a guest
student are required to file an application with the
Office of Admissions each term that they wish to enroll
and pay a $25.00 application fee each term.
Guest Students will be permitted to register only during
Open Registration.
A guest student may carry up to 15 hours per
semester and may earn a maximum of 30 semester
hours while maintaining special student status. The
student must maintain a 2.000 cumulative grade-point
average as a special student. Guest students who
wish to exceed the 30-semester-hour maximum may
file a petition with the Office of Admissions. However,
no more than 30 semester hours may be applied to the
baccalaureate degree should the student decide to
become a degree candidate. A guest student is
ineligible for financial aid.
