Readmission of Former Students

Any former student not enrolled at Volunteer State Community College the previous semester (excluding the summer) who wishes to return to the College must file an application for readmission. No application fee is charged for readmission. If the student has enrolled at another college since last attending Vol State, he/she must have a transcript from the other college submitted and approved before re-entering. A student who is readmitted after a one semester suspension is completed will be readmitted as having Academic Probation Status. This status can be removed by maintaining a 2.00 QPA or by meeting the cumulative standard for QPA as stated on page 51 for that semester.

Readmission students who have not previously completed an algebra-based math course or English course at the college level with a grade of “C” or better will be required to take a placement test when registering for a math or English course.

Credit For Service In The Armed Forces

Veterans who have completed one year or more of full-time, extended active military service will be excused from taking the required physical education activity courses except PED 107 (Lifetime Fitness). Veterans will receive four semester hours (less credit already earned) of physical education credit upon presentation of a copy of their discharge form (DD214) to the Office of Admissions and Records. Reservists who have served six months active duty under the provision of the Reserve Forces Act of 1955 are not considered veterans; they may, however, be excused from taking the required physical education activity courses upon the presentation of a copy of their discharge form (DD214) to the Director of Admissions and Records.

he Director of Admissions and Records should be consulted to determine whether additional credit can be given for courses offered through the United States Armed Forces Institute or other service schools. An evaluation of service credit is not made until a student has applied and been granted admission to the College.
