Readmission after being Dismissed

[cer0497]

Hello,
I was academically dismissed from the University of Florida during my second year because I had extreme anxiety and depression ( I couldn’t even get out of bed and battled suicide) during Fall 2016 and missed the withdrawal date. I accrued 36 deficit points during my time there. I want to retroactively medically withdrawal from Fall 2016 as well. I really want to go back to UF and I am so close to gradating. Has anyone ever heard of a student being dismissed academically and being readmitted?? What would be my best chances of being readmitted??

The reason my grades suffered was because I was experiencing challenges outside of the classroom that affected my ability to focus on school. What can I do to improve my chances of getting readmitted?

If your poor performance any given semester(s) was a result of extenuating circumstances, we encourage students to look into the retroactive withdrawal petition process before they even apply for readmission. If you can document issues that impacted your ability to be successful, you might qualify for a retroactive withdrawal which would make it so that the prior grades you are petitioning are replaced with a “W”. Medical issues, specifically, are reviewed by UF’s Dean of Students Office.
