Readmission

Former Undergraduate Students

If you have never completed an application for admission and paid the $30 application fee, you will need to be admitted through the Admissions Office.

Former undergraduate students wishing to return to EIU after a lapse of one or more semesters should complete an undergraduate readmission form and return it to the Office of the Registrar at least 10 calendar days prior to the first class day of the term in which they intend to enroll. Students enrolled in the Spring semester do not need to apply for readmission for the next Fall semester.

All students who have attended another institution since attending EIU must present a transcript which meets the criteria for readmission.

Contact your adviser to help you choose a schedule and give you your alternate pin number so you are able to register.
