Reapplication
Reapplication–New Students
Previous MSW applicants who were not offered admission, were admitted but did not enroll, or enrolled but withdrew in their first term of enrollment must follow the regular application procedures to apply for a future term. Prior application materials are kept on file for one year. If your previous application is still on file, you will not need to submit another set of official transcripts from the colleges/universities attended or submit three new letters of recommendation. However, applicants are required to submit official transcripts for any additional academic work completed since their last application, one additional relevant supporting recommendation, and a new supplementary statement in addition to the MSW application form and application fee.
Reapplication–Returning Students
Previously enrolled MSW students at the University of Michigan who have withdrawn from the MSW program after completion of one or more terms must complete and submit a Reapplication Form for Returning MSW Students (available upon request from the Office of Student Services) at least six weeks prior to the term for which readmission is requested. If enrollment in field instruction is desired, reapplication must be made several months prior to the desired term of enrollment to allow time for field placement planning. Students applying to return to the MSW degree program must submit a written plan with their reapplication form, describing their plans for completion of the remainder of their degree requirements. This plan should be detailed and include an expected graduation date. Former students follow the curriculum requirements that were in effect when they first entered the MSW program. If this is not possible due to curriculum changes, consultation with the associate dean for educational programs may be necessary. Returning students should plan their return for a term that is consistent with their previous curriculum schedule (16- or 20-month curriculum schedule), if possible. Students should not plan to return in the spring/summer term without prior consultation with their faculty advisor and the Office of Field Instruction due to the limited spring/summer course offerings and field instruction policies. No re-application fee is required for students previously enrolled in the MSW program. Former MSW students who were on academic probation may be required to submit additional materials for review by the associate dean for educational programs.
