The readmission form requires payment of a $30.00 fee.
Effective Summer 2022, Georgia Tech's Readmission policy is updated to allow students to sit out two consecutive terms without requiring Readmission.
The new readmission rule is effective Summer 2022. This means that any student who decided to sit out (not enroll) in Summer 2022 is operating under the old rule that allows for one term out (Summer counts) before readmission is required. The new rule is not retroactive. Students must enroll at least once under the new Catalog for the new policy to apply.
Authoritative information regarding withdrawal and readmission is published under Rules & Regulations VIII in the Catalog.

Catalog Year
Students are readmitted under the current catalog that is in effect at the time of readmission. If a student wishes to follow the degree requirements from a catalog in effect prior to the term of readmission, they must make a request to the Major School. There is no guarantee that such a request will be granted and readmitted students should be prepared to follow the current degree requirements as outlined in the current catalog. Readmitted students should also be aware of the 10-year rule.
