In this page you will quickly find various financial aid options that will help you cover your academic expenses. In just a few simple steps, you will be able to apply for the aid you need. This is recommended for all academic programs.
1. The student will receive the readmission application form from the Registrar’s Office, and will submit it back to the Registrar’s Office.
2. The student will pay a readmission fee, which is not refundable.
3. Upon payment of the readmission fee, the Finance Office will proceed to notify the student of any debt with the Institution.
4. If the student is indebted to the indebted to the Institution, the process of readmission is held up until the student pays the debt and receives the approval from the Finance Office.
5. The Registrar’s Office will apply the following criteria to evaluate the readmission application.
— Study any evidence of disciplinary measures taken or non compliance with University regulations and stipulations made.
— Verify that the student complies with minimum G.P.A. according to Table A (Retention Index – Qualitative Element).
— Confirm that the student complies with the required suspension time limit.
6. A student whose readmission application has been denied may appeal to the Readmissions Committee through the Registrar’s Office. The student will receive instructions regarding the procedure to follow in order to request reconsideration by the Committee.
7. If the student has a grade point average lower than required, or if required suspension time limit has not expired and the Committee rules in favor of the student, readmission will be granted on a probationary basis. The condition of the probation period will be:
— The student must pass all courses for which he/she is registered with grade of C or higher.
— The academic load will be limited to a maximum of twelve (12) credit-hours per term.
— The G.P.A. should be increased or improved according to what has been established.
8. Students who have voluntarily interrupted their studies at PUPR, and during this inactive period have attended one or more institutions without prior permission from the Department Chairperson, will have no right to request the transfer of any credit-hours passed in that incursion.
9. The decision of the Readmissions Committee will be sent in writing to the student through the Registrar’s Office.
