Admissions

Learner Re-Entry

There are two paths to re-entry available to you:

Traditional Re-Entries

The deadline to complete the re-entry process is typically twelve weeks prior to the start of the semester before you wish to return. During the re-entry process you will be required to be cleared by the Bursar for any outstanding balance with Nightingale College. 

Short Term Re-Entries

If you've withdrawn voluntarily, plan to return within one year, and are in good financial standing, and do not wish to submit any new transcripts or take any admissions placement exams, you may qualify for this accelerated and simplified re-entry process. The deadline for this process is typically six weeks prior to the start of the semester before you wish to return.

Please note: your Nightingale accounts (Canvas, Outlook, etc.) will be deactivated after 20 weeks with no activity. To maintain access please log in once every 20 weeks.  Once your account has been deactivated you will have to submit an AIT Support ticket for reactivation.
