I was on probation or suspended last time I attended. Will I be able to re-enter?

If you were on suspension, you will need to appeal that suspension and be approved to re-enter by the appeals committee. Your re-entry coordinator can assist you in the necessary steps needed to appeal to the University.

I have attended another University since leaving Sullivan. Will you accept those credits when I re-enter?

If you have attended another accredited University or College, those transcripts can be evaluated for your current program by the Campus Registrar.

How do I get my transcript to you from another school?

Your re-entry coordinator will tell you where to have your transcripts sent. It is your responsibility to cover any costs and to make sure we receive your transcripts.

Are there any re-entry fees?

If you have a $0.00 balance there are no fees attached to re-entering Sullivan University. If you have a balance with the school, you must be current with our collections department before your re-entry will be approved.

When will I know if I am qualified for financial aid?

Once you have completed an application and pre-financial paperwork with Sullivan, a financial planning coordinator will be in touch with you to complete the process. Once they have everything required to financially package you, they will approve your re-entry into Sullivan.

I am a cash paying student. What do I need to do?

If you will be paying cash for all of your educational costs (books, fees, and tuition), your re-entry coordinator will help you complete all required documents before a schedule is released to you.

My company will help pay my tuition. What do I need to do?

If your company will assist you in your educational costs (books, fees, and/or tuition), you will need to provide your re-entry coordinator with a copy of your company’s current tuition reimbursement policy. Your re-entry coordinator will also work with you on completing all documentation required. Sullivan University will allow you to defer those payments until 30 days after the quarter ends based on the company policy. The Business Office Manager or Student Accounts Coordinator will assist you in getting any supporting documentation you might need to receive funds from your company.

How do I get a schedule when I re-enter?

Once your re-entry coordinator has received all documents from you and your financial package has been complete, in most cases your re-entry coordinator will submit your schedule your first quarter back in school. You will be responsible for making your schedule after that first quarter.

How do I get books?

If you are an online student and will be using financial aid funding to purchase your books you will need to submit a book voucher request. Your financial planning coordinator will assist you in submitting this form.

If you are an on campus student using financial aid funding to purchase your books, you will be able to purchase your books on your account in the bookstore.

If you are a cash paying or company deferred student, you will be able to purchase your books either online or in the school bookstore once you have received an official class registration via e-mail or an official schedule via your student portal.

What is this credit card that you sent me last time I was enrolled?

The SUSDebitCard that you may have received from the school is needed for any refunds or living expense funds on your account that you may receive. The extra funds will be deposited onto the card and depending on how you have arranged for your funds to be disbursed on www.susdebitcard.com the card will be your way of accessing these funds. If you have lost your SUSDebitCard, you can request a replacement card from the financial planning office at a cost of $20.00 to you.

What if I didn’t receive a card?

If you have not been enrolled since September 2009, you will have a card issued to you once you have completed the re-entry process.

Will my current student loans be deferred once I re-enter?

If you have student loans either in deferment, forbearance, or re-payment, once you have returned to being at least a 1/2 time student, you will be able to place your loans into deferment depending on your lender’s policy. The financial planning office will assist you with this.

What is my next step?
