Re-enrollment
Students who have been away from the university who either did not submit a leave of absence form, or were ineligible for leave of absence, and who have been away for not more than two academic years must re-enroll in order to register for courses. This can be done by submitting an Undergraduate Application for Re-enrollment (available below under Resources). This is an online form through the Registrar's office and you will need to log in with your Mason credentials. If you no longer have access, contact IT Support at support@gmu.edu.
Important Considerations
- Two-year timeframe: students who have been away from Mason five full semesters (excluding summer) no longer qualify for re-enrollment and must re-apply to the university. For example: if the last graded semester was spring 2021, students must re-enroll by the beginning of the fall 2023 semester.
- Cumulative GPA below 2.0: if a student has below a 2.00 cumulative GPA or was on academic suspension when he or she left, then the re-enrollment request must be reviewed by the Undergraduate Academic Affairs office.
- Prior to a reenrollment being approved for student with a cumulative GPA below a 2.00, students must meet with an academic advisor to discuss course selection for the semester of return, review a GPA calculator, and discuss academic success strategies upon your return. Advisors will need to indicate in the comment session of the form the recommended courses and academic strategies discussed.
- Further, students who were on suspension when last at Mason must submit an Academic Advisor Approval Form along with the re-enrollment request. The form can be found below and can be emailed to us, along with a GPA calculator at chssdean@gmu.edu.
Please note if a form is received by Undergraduate Academic Affairs without an indication of the courses and academic strategies discussed, the request will be denied. Additionally, any re-enrollment request received by our office less than two weeks before the first day of courses may be denied.
Major Catalog Year
Re-enrolling will update a student's degree requirements to the latest catalog term unless noted on the form. Choose your requested catalog term (cannot be a semester before matriculation at Mason) on the form.
