We’re happy you’re considering a return to Truman State University. As a former student, you already know the unique value of our education. Whether you’ve been away for semester or longer, we’re here to help you continue your academic journey in pursuit of your goals.

Our advisors are ready to help you navigate your return, ensuring you can pick up where you left off and make the most of your Truman experience.

We look forward to having you back and supporting you as you work towards completing a current or new degree!

Returning Student Checklist

Gone less than a semester?

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.

Out for a semester or more? Complete the Returning Student Form.

Student unenrolled for at least one semester or more (not including Summer) should complete the Returning Student Form. To ensure you maintain accurate academic records, you will also need to send the Registrar’s Office transcripts if you’ve attended other colleges during your time away from Truman. If you were suspended following your last semester at Truman, you will need to apply for reinstatement at appeals@truman.edu first.

Returning Student Form

Once your returning student form is processed, an academic advisor from the Center for Academic Excellence will be reaching out to help you get reacquainted with Truman, ensure you have an appropriate course schedule upon your return, and connect you with campus resources.

Access your TruView account

TruView is your student hub for viewing transcripts, bills, DegreeWorks, and more. If you are having trouble accessing your TruView account, you can contact the ITS Help Desk at 660-785-4544.

Connect with your advisor

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.
