Returning after an absence

If you wish to return to UCSB after a break in enrollment, you will need to fill out a short application and follow application deadlines. 

If you are considering taking a break (gap) for a regular quarter or more, please make sure to contact advisors in the College of Letters and Science AND in the Office of International Students & Scholars before doing so.

If you were in good academic standing in your last term at UCSB, please review the "Readmission after Absence" tab for instructions on how to return.

If your academic standing was either Academic Probation or Academically Disqualified, please review the "Reinstatement after Absence" tab for instructions on to return.
