For students who had to leave Truman for only part of a semester (not including Summer), you do not need to apply for readmission as a returning student! Simply connect with your academic advisor to get enrolled in courses. You are also welcome to connect with academic advisors at the Center for Academic Excellence for questions or concern. Keep scrolling down the page if you need a refresher on how to access your student account, register for classes, and more.

Students not enrolled for at least one full semester or more (not including Summer term) should complete the Returning Student Form. If you took coursework at another institution while away from Truman, request that your transcripts be sent to Truman’s Registrar’s Office to ensure we have your most up to date academic records.

If you were suspended following your last semester at Truman, you need to appeal for reinstatement first by emailing appeals@truman.edu.

Returning Student Form

Once your returning student form is processed, an academic advisor from the Center for Academic Excellence will reach out to help you get reacquainted with Truman, connect you with the most appropriate academic advisor for course selection, and connect you with other needed campus resources.

TruView is your student hub for viewing transcripts, bills, Degree Works, and more. For a refresher on TruView, check out the Center for Academic Excellence’s Video Tutorial Series.

You will need to connect with your academic advisor to be cleared to register and review your degree plan. If you are having trouble connecting with your faculty advisor, we recommend you connect with the advising team at the Center for Academic Excellence. Once you are cleared by your advisor, you will be able to register in classes for your return semester.

The International Admissions Office will review your re-application information in the same manner as a new student to Truman. If you meet all the requirements for undergraduate admission, then we will issue you an I-20 visa so you can attempt to secure an F-1 visa from your home country.

The International Admissions Office will review the following information for returning students:

• Your Truman academic history will be reviewed as opposed to secondary school or other previous academic information.
• Confirm your English Proficiency based on your original admission information.
• Confirm that your passport is current.
• Confirm your SAT/ACT scores based on your original admission information.
• Your financial stability will be assessed by reviewing your transaction history for the previous 90 days. A signed Certificate of Financial Support will also be needed to confirm that you understand their financial obligation.

The Center for Academic Excellence is happy to help! You can access resources through our website, emailing advise@truman.edu, or call 660-785-7403.
