Just sent. What might happen, I don't know.

Hello:

I was a student at UCLA from 1983 to 1987. In 1987 I was dismissed for poor academic performance, which was sadly an accurate assessment.

I am close (I do not know how close) to a degree in English, and I am interested in readmission and in completing my Bachelor's degree.

According to http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/faq/readmissionfaq.htm there is an application. I have no other transcripts since 1987, so that won't be an issue.

What should I expect from the procedure, and what other information should I gather? I'm very interested in this but also a bit intimidated.

Thanks in advance,

substitute

I'll wait and see what they think. It's their own credits, so it's their call.

I believe based on what I've heard that they cut pretty good deals in these circumstances.

They might give you equivalence, when I transferred colleges the department chair sat down and said "We don't offer these exact courses but this sounds like this" and so on.

Some places will give you "life credits" too for being old and wise. And I cashed in the ham ticket on an electronics class.

Yep, Caldwell offers those "life credit" things based on some assessment related to the subject. When I transferred from Engineering to Criminal Justice, the only related class they gave me credit for was Statistics. But I got out of all the preliminary basic classes because I had finished my degree at NJIT.

I suspect they will credit most of your classes since it's the same school. If there were any classes that were upper level ones that have changed significantly, or you had a failure, they may ask you take those over.

It sounds like an excellent idea and I wish you luck. I found that college was infinitely easier for me the second time around.
