All students must complete a petition to graduate. Students enrolling in their final course should fill out the petition at the time of enrollment.
Prior to Filling out the Petition to Graduate:
- Examine your academic record.
- Are all anticipated waivers and transfer credit accurately represented?
- Does your degree audit accurately reflect the degrees and/or certificates that you are pursuing?
- Have all incomplete or in progress grades on your academic record been resolved?
- Is your name and address correct in your biographical information?
- Have you resolved any holds on your account to assure final delivery of your transcript and diploma?
Submit the Undergraduate Petition to Graduate.
Re-enrollment is the step to take if you meet the following two criteria:
- You have been away from Webster for one or two semesters, not counting summer,
AND - You are not dismissed.
To re-enroll, contact the Academic Advising Center at 314-968-6972 or at advising@webster.edu to connect to an advisor. The advisor will ask you questions to determine what courses you should enroll in, and he/she will assist in enrolling you in courses to continue your chosen major or certificate at Webster.
The advisor will also check to see if you have a hold, which could be because you owe money. If this is the case, the advisor will refer you to Webster’s Business Office to make a plan to resolve your financial obligations. With finances in order, you can re-enroll in courses to complete your degree. If you completed credit hours at another institution while you were away from Webster, you will need to send official transcripts to transcripts@webster.edu so that credits can be transferred to Webster.
Readmission is the path to take if:
- You have been away from Webster for more than two semesters, not counting summer.
After two semesters — which is one academic year — returning students must meet the
requirements of the program in the current catalog. If your chosen academic program
has changed, you will need to meet the new requirements. To apply for readmission,
you will complete an Undergraduate Application for Readmission and work with the Academic Advising Center to determine your program requirements.
OR - You were dismissed from Webster University. In this case, you can be considered for readmission. You will complete an Undergraduate Application for Readmission which will be reviewed by advisors in the Academic Advising Center to determine your academic readiness to continue at Webster.
In either case, if you completed credit hours at another institution, you will need to send official transcripts to transcripts@webster.edu so that credits can be transferred to Webster.
