Readmission to JCU

To apply, students should complete and submit the free Application for Readmission. Students who have attended other colleges or universities are required to send us official transcripts.

Transcripts must be emailed directly to John Carroll at admission@jcu.edu or mailed (via the address below) from each college or university you attended. We are unable to accept transcripts issued to the student or hand-delivered transcripts. Failure to report collegiate-level attendance at any institution will make a student liable for immediate dismissal.

Transcripts can be sent to the following address:

Office of Admission
John Carroll University
1 John Carroll Boulevard
University Heights, OH 44118

Some students may be asked to complete a Transfer Reference Form based on their previous educational experience. This form provides information about your conduct record. You will be contacted by your admission counselor if you need to complete this form as part of your application.

Students who have been suspended from JCU are eligible to apply for readmission after one semester and one summer have elapsed. It is strongly recommended that students who were suspended from JCU take classes elsewhere before applying for readmission.

Students who left JCU after May 2020 and have not taken classes elsewhere should refer to the conditions outlined in their suspension letter.

Students who have been dismissed from JCU are eligible to apply for readmission after 5 years from the date of dismissal. Students who wish to be considered for readmission after the expiration of this time period and have completed at least twelve (12) college-level credits with a 2.5 GPA at another accredited institution, must submit the Application for Readmission.

Students who were dismissed after May 2020 and have not taken classes elsewhere should refer to the conditions outlined in their dismissal letter.

All readmitted students will be held to current program and curricular requirements. Students may petition to revert to their previous requirements.

Students who have been readmitted to JCU should contact the Office of Student Enrollment and Financial Services to learn more about their financial aid award. Please contact enrollment@jcu.edu or call 216-397-6000.
