In making a decision on whether to readmit, the Committee on Academic Affairs considers both the academic and non-academic records of the student. A student who has withdrawn from the University for medical or psychological reasons must submit documentation from their physician or therapist to either Deacon Health or the University Counseling Center attesting to their readiness to resume a full academic program. The physician or therapist should also provide professional guidance as to the nature of the student’s ongoing care once readmission has been approved. In all instances, the student's readmission is contingent upon the Committee on Academic Affairs' determination that the student can resume a full academic program. This does not and must not presume an online or remote academic program or experience. Limits on online work apply. (Refer to the Requirements for Degrees for more details.) Any student who has withdrawn and who hopes to receive transfer consideration for work done elsewhere must provide the University with a properly documented statement attesting to his, her, or their good standing at the institution from which the transfer credit would come. (See Transfer Credit rules.) Additionally, an official copy of the student’s transcript must be made available to the Office of the University Registrar. No student on judicial or academic probation or suspension from the University may take coursework at another institution and have that work transferred to the University for credit. Students whose withdrawals from the University were the result of an honor or judicial process must fully satisfy any sanctions placed upon them prior to being considered for readmission. Students who have been ineligible to continue for academic reasons must present to the Committee on Academic Affairs an intentional plan to raise their academic standing to acceptable standards. Any student who has been ineligible to continue for conduct reasons must present to the Committee of Academic Affairs a verification from the appropriate conduct office that the student is cleared to return. Holds may be placed on the record of a student who fails to comply with proper withdrawal or CES. Such holds will prevent consideration of readmission or resumption of full- or part-time status until such matters are resolved. Any request for readmission to the University may be denied if a student has violated any laws or regulations or has engaged in conduct or exhibited behaviors that would be considered a violation of the Honor Code or the Code of Student Conduct. Such decisions are reviewed and made at the discretion of the Committee on Academic Affairs. Readmission forms and deadlines are posted on the Office of Academic Advising website (http://advising.wfu.edu). Deadlines for the receipt of all necessary information are as follows: Fall Readmission - August 1 by 5 p.m. Spring Readmission - December 1 by 5 p.m. Summer Readmission - April 15 by 5 p.m. | 2026-2027 | bulletin.wfu.edu |

| Transfer of Credit from Other Schools | transfer_credit | Transfer of Credit from Other Schools It is expected that most work toward degrees offered by the Wake Forest University School of Business will be taken in the School of Business. School of Business students are also accountable to overall transfer course/credit limits applying to all undergraduate WFU students summarized in other sections of this Bulletin. In the School of Business, student requests for course transfer are adjudicated by the Undergraduate Business Committee on Academic Affairs (UBCAA). Students with questions regarding transfer course request procedures in their particular major or course of study, or related degree planning needs, should consult with School of Business academic advising staff. For students wishing to request transfer credit from other institutions towards their School of Business degree program, the following general guidelines apply: All approvals for transfer credits from other institutions to the School of Business must be: approved prior to admission into the School of Business for transfer students and will be limited to a maximum of 6 hours or pre-approved before such courses are taken by students who began their college careers at Wake Forest University Courses taken at AACSB accredited schools (or completed abroad in international programs sponsored by AACSB-accredited schools) will be considered for transfer. If a course is taken at an institution that is not AACSB-accredited, and possible transfer credit is deemed applicable by the relevant School of Business approval body, then a validation exam will generally be required in order to be considered for transfer credit. Courses taken elsewhere, in subjects not offered at the School of Business, will not necessarily count toward the hours required in the School of Business. Courses approved for transfer credit that do not have an equivalent course offering in the School of Business may not count toward School of Business degree program requirements. However, such courses may be eligible for general elective business transfer credit. A maximum of two courses (6 hours) may be transferred into School of Business undergraduate program requirements from other institutions. Credit earned through Wake Forest-sponsored study-abroad programs (i.e., WFU Barcelona, London INSTEP) is treated as institutional credit, and it is therefore excluded from the program’s transfer credit hour limitations. Students who begin their college career at Wake Forest University and who are applying to the School of Business must take ACC 111 at Wake Forest University. Students in majors outside of the School of Business, who wish to request transfer credit from other institutions towards general elective requirements in the College of Arts & Sciences, may utilize School of Business procedures for transfer credit review (requiring a review of that course’s description and syllabus). | 2026-2027 | bulletin.wfu.edu |
