A student who withdraws during the first semester of law study shall be treated as a new admission and the petition for readmission will be referred immediately to the Admissions Office.

A student who has successfully completed any units at Pacific West and has taken a leave of absence, not longer than one calendar year, must petition the Dean to be allowed to re-enroll as a continuing student.

A student who has taken a leave of absence for longer than one calendar year must appear in person before the Dean or the designated staff member.

As a condition to readmission, a student who has taken a leave of absence for longer than one calendar year may be required to repeat courses taken prior to the withdrawal.

An individual who wishes to be readmitted after academic exclusion must petition the Admissions Office directly and show the requisite ability for successful law study or evidence a stronger potential for law study since admission criteria in existence at the time of readmission will apply. Readmission is not automatically guaranteed.
