Returning Student Application Checklist
As a returning student, you will not need to request your UofL transcript. There are two processes for returning students:
- If you attended UofL within less than two years, or if you previously took courses as a senior citizen, you will want to complete a request to reenroll.
- If you last attended UofL more than two years ago, you will need to complete a new application for undergraduate admission.
Not sure when you last attended classes at UofL? Please contact our office at 502-852-0166 or transfer@louisville.edu.
Are you transferring? If you have previously attended a college other than UofL (not including dual credit completed during high school), please apply to UofL as a Transfer Applicant.
Quick admissions decisions
The University of Louisville admits students on a rolling basis, so once you submit your application, you can expect to hear about our admission decision within a 5-7 business days.
Fresh Start Application
Fresh Start is for students who have deficiencies in their academic record. Using the Fresh Start option, students who have previously attended UofL may request UofL to reset their previous cumulative grade point average. To qualify for Fresh Start you must:
- have previously attended UofL as an undergraduate student and be returning as an undergraduate student
- not have attended UofL in the last two years
- not have earned a bachelor’s degree
- meet with an advisor in your academic unit prior to submitting the Fresh Start application
- submit an application for admission, which includes a non-refundable $30 application fee.
Students considering this option are strongly encouraged to consult with their academic advisor for guidance.
