Students who have been absent from study for a period of more than 12 months are required to seek re-admission. A letter of activities, resume and/or transcripts for the time away are required for the application to be considered. Students re-admitted to the original or another program of study normally will follow the regulations in force at the time of original admission to UPEI (see Regulation #2 on age of credits and validity for inclusion in degrees). In addition, the Admissions Committee may attach specific and binding conditions to a student's performance to ensure that the normal standards of the degree requirements are met.

Students who have been required to withdraw from this university or any other university or college may be considered for re-admission or admission after they have spent at least 12 months away from university and can provide satisfactory letters of recommendation from employers and/or others. A student readmitted after being required to withdraw from this university or any other university will automatically be on academic probation.
