A former student is one who was previously admitted into an undergraduate degree seeking program at YSU, has not attended for three or more consecutive terms, and has not attended another accredited college since attending. Students meeting this criteria, and are not an exception listed below, can complete an application for readmission via the Penguin Service Center. There is no application fee. Upon receipt of the application, former students will be contacted by mail or email regarding the status of readmission, as well as advisement and registration information.
