Not every application for readmission requires Special Cases approval.
Applications for admission received from students who have failed a University examination at another university shall be considered in the normal way, and may be accepted without reference to Special Cases.
Applications for admission from students whose enrolment with the University has been terminated as academically unsatisfactory, other than where triggered by failure of the programme or failure to progress, must, if approved by the Board of Studies concerned, be submitted as recommendations to Special Cases.
Students in poor academic standing, who have expressed a desire to transfer programme prior to programme failure, can be considered as transfers by Special Cases provided the student has not yet been withdrawn from their programme and provided that the department the student has requested to transfer into is willing to offer a place to the student (see section 6.6 of the Special Cases Progress Policy).
Special Cases approval is required in cases (1) and (2) below only where the student is seeking admission to the same programme, or one which has content overlap with a programme they studied previously at York, or if the student has already twice been admitted to a first year at York. Otherwise they may be accepted directly by the Board of Studies concerned.
