It is your responsibility to understand what is required for you to be considered for readmission to your program.

If you have returned to Purdue West Lafayette within the last 12 months after being away for five years or more, check to see if you qualify for [academic renewal](https://admissions.purdue.edu/become-student/readmission/academic-renewal/).

### Meet Readmission Application Deadlines

Purdue has firm application deadlines for readmission. For your application to be considered complete, all required materials must be received by the deadline. For full consideration, provide official transcripts of college coursework completed since separating from Purdue.
