If you attended Marshall University at least one year ago and you have not enrolled at any other college or university since being enrolled at Marshall, you can take steps to be readmitted. If this doesn’t sound like you, please visit our Admissions page to review other types of students who can apply to Marshall.
If you are a military-connected student, you should know that Marshall University complies with the Department of Education requirements concerning readmission of service members, per section 484C of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended and effective July 1, 2010. Specifically, service members who withdraw from the university to fulfill their service obligations will be readmitted, with the same academic status they previously held, upon their return. Additional information about readmission benefits may be found on the U.S. Department of Education’s website.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is the term used to define the successful completion of coursework toward a Certificate or Degree to maintain eligibility for financial aid. Marshall University is required by federal and state regulations and institutional policy to determine whether a student is meeting SAP requirements.
SAP for financial aid is monitored on three standards:
- Qualitative: Cumulative GPA in your level of study (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, etc.)
- Quantitative: Successful pace of completion at a minimum of 67% of all credits attempted in your academic transcript level in undergraduate, graduate programs, Doctor of Pharmacy and Doctor of Physical Therapy. Doctor of Medicine must complete 50% of credits attempted up to 82 credits and 67% over 82 credits.
- Max time frame: Measured based on calendar years for graduate/doctoral students (see details in the policy) and for undergraduate students no more than 180 attempted credit hours for bachelor’s, no more than 100 attempted credit hours for associate (see additional details in the policy).
Students must meet the minimum standards outlined in the applicable SAP policies to continue to receive financial aid.
