Admissions Requirements

Students Who Left the College with a 2.0 GPA or Above Students Who Left the College with Below a 2.0 GPA
Students who voluntarily withdraw from the College while in good standing and with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above will be approved for readmission. Submit an application and a personal letter addressed to the Office of Admissions and Adult Student Services outlining how they have used their time while out of school and giving their reasons for believing that they will now be successful at the College.
If you have attended another college or colleges since you have last attended the College of Charleston, an official transcript from each college must be provided to our office as a part of your readmit application. If you have attended another college or colleges since you have last attended the College of Charleston, an official transcript from each college must be provided to our office as a part of your readmit application.
If their application is approved, students must complete the STEP Program, a one-day workshop that contains information on the services that the College provides for students with academic difficulties, the academic requirements they must satisfy, and their personal responsibilities in reaching good academic standing. During the workshop students will be allowed to enroll in the course, Learning Strategies (EDLS 100), which is designed to assist them in attaining the skills necessary to succeed at college.
  Each student must sign a readmission contract. The contract specifies the grade point average (GPA) and other specific requirements that readmitted students must meet in order to remain at the College of Charleston. Grades for readmitted students, who are on contract, are reviewed every semester or until students bring their GPAs into compliance with the College's standard minimum scholastic attainment. In effect, readmitted students on contracts are placed on probation when returning and are subject to immediate dismissal if they do not meet the conditions of their contracts.

* Students who previously attended the College as provisional students but failed to meet the conditions of the program must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at another institution before applying for readmission. They will only be considered for admission if they meet the most current admission standards applied to transfer students.
