Returning to Cal Maritime

Welcome back!

Students who were previously enrolled at Cal Maritime and are now requesting to return are required to submit a Cal Maritime Application for Readmission. Here are some important details to know before starting the readmission process:

· Students requesting to return to Cal Maritime after an absence of less than 1 year will retain their catalog rights and degree program if approved for readmission (unless changing majors).

· Students returning after an absence of more than 1 year (or changing majors) may not retain their catalog rights and may be subject to the academic requirements for the degree of the most recently admitted class. Students returning from continuous military leave are an exception and will retain their original catalog rights if returning to their original degree program.

· Students requesting to change majors are strongly encouraged to discuss their change of major request with the Department Chair or Dean of that program before submitting their application for readmission.

· Additional documents and an application fee may be required before a student’s application for readmission can be reviewed. Students returning from a continuous military leave are not required to pay an application fee.

· Readmission is not guaranteed. Students will be reviewed for compliance with current policy and admissions standards.

Returning from a Leave of Absence or University Withdrawal

For students who submitted a Leave of Absence, University Withdrawal or were suspended, see our AA 03-016 Leave and Withdrawal Policy for further readmission requirements. For students who were Academically Disqualified, see our AA 03-004 Academic Standing Policy for further readmission requirements.

· If a student is approved for readmission, they must resolve all outstanding obligations and/or holds (i.e. library fines, accounting holds, judicial holds, etc.) prior to registration. Students may contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@csum.edu to verify current holds. · If readmission is denied, students may reach out to advisor@csum.edu for additional guidance and next steps.

Readmission Deadlines:

· Fall Semester: August 1st

· Spring Semester: Nov 1st

· Summer Semester: December 1st*

*(Students who plan to take an International Experience course must apply by this deadline).

Students applying after the deadlines above are subject to denial.
