Any (both domestic and international) student who has previously attended Berea as a degree-seeking student may apply.  Applicants are ineligible for readmission to Berea if they are in default of federal student loans or if they owe an account balance to Berea or any other institution they have attended prior to reapplying to Berea.

Who can apply for readmission to Berea?

No.  Applicants are ineligible for admission to Berea if they are in default of their federal student loans, or if they owe a balance to any other institutions at the point of application to Berea.  Any applicant in default with their student loans will need to contact their loan provider to resolve their default.

Can I apply if I am in default with my Federal student loans?

No.  Potential readmission applicants must first resolve any outstanding account balance before submitting an application for readmission.  Account balances can be confirmed with the Student Accounts Office via phone.  Their phone number is 859-985-3094.

Am I eligible to reapply if I have an outstanding account balance from my time at Berea?

Yes.  Applicants will need to provide both official college transcripts and Statement of Good Standings from all institutions attended after Berea.

I have attended another college since attending Berea. Do I need to be in good standing with that institution before applying to Berea?

Students may be required to wait a prescribed length of time before being eligible to apply for readmission, depending upon the circumstances of their departure.
<ol>
 	<li>Students who withdrew without suspension: Previously enrolled students must wait for one full regular term of absence before reapplying to Berea.</li>
 	<li>Students who left on suspension: Unless designated at the time of suspension, a student who has been suspended from Berea cannot be considered for readmission until the passage of two regular terms of absence.</li>
</ol>

I recently left Berea. When will I be eligible to apply for readmission?

Yes.  All readmitted students will return with the same academic, labor, and social status assigned at the time of departure.  An application for readmission will not be considered in the case of a pending on-campus disciplinary charge and/or hearing until the case has been settled.

If I was suspended, or I left Berea on probation, will I return with the same status?

It is essential for all applicants to turn in all required materials before their application deadline.  Applicants may submit additional letters of recommendation, and are encouraged to do so.  These letters may come from old professors, current employers, and community leaders.  Applicants are also encouraged to pay particular attention to submitting a detailed essay which explains at length the preparations they have made for their success upon returning to Berea.

Is there anything I can do to increase my chance of readmission?

Students who withdrew from Berea before beginning classes are not considered readmit applicants.  These applicants would submit the new freshman or transfer application for admission, dependent upon their current college enrollment status.
