Special Situations


Returning Students

A returning student is someone who was admitted through UNL's Office of Graduate Studies, enrolled, took a break of three or more consecutive terms, and now intends to resume the program in which they were previously enrolled.

Returning students should send an email to graduate@unl.edu requesting reactivation in the program of previous enrollment. This is for reactivation in a degree program or in the status of post-baccalaureate non-degree student.

Change of Campus

When a student currently enrolled as a degree-seeking graduate student at one University of Nebraska campus (UNL, UNO, UNK, or UNMC) applies for admission as a degree-seeking student at another NU campus, that student may request their academic documents, such as transcripts and test scores, to be forwarded to their new campus.

Complete the change of campus request and follow the remaining steps to admission for degree-seeking students including submitting the online application and supplemental department materials.

"Change of campus" is not the same as "intercampus enrollment", in which an NU student takes a few courses at a different NU campus while retaining degree-seeking status at the home campus.
