Any undergraduate student seeking to return to the University after a Leave of Absence, Withdrawal, Dismissal or 2+ year hiatus in course registration may initiate the readmission process by submitting an application to the University here.

Once a student has submitted the required application and provides all applicable supporting documentation, the request for readmission is considered in consultation with various academic and student life areas.  If a student is approved for return academically, a student’s readmission can be finalized when both Financial Aid and Student Accounts confirm the student’s clearance within these respective areas (i.e. all documents have been provided to calculate a financial aid award as applicable and any outstanding balance owed to the University has been resolved). 

When both academic and financial clearances have been confirmed through the Admissions Office, a student will be officially readmitted to the University and be permitted to register for courses soon thereafter. 

If you have any questions about the Readmission Process, please contact the Manhattanville Admissions Team at 914.323.5464 or admissions@mville.edu.

Manhattanville's Grading and Grading Policies use standard letter grades. Each letter grade is assigned a numeric grade point value to allow computation of a student's Grade Point Average (GPA).   For example, if you complete 5 courses, each conferring 3 credits, grades A, B+, F, C, and D, you can compute your scholastic index as follows:   

Divide the total grade point value by total credits.  Do not include "W" and "P" grades (from pass/fail grading option) in the attempted credits.   

Check out this sample GPA Calculator!

Manhattanville maintains the following letter grading system:

Grade	Grade Point Equivalent	Percentage Equivalent
A	4.0	93-100
A-	3.66	90-92.9
B+	3.33	87-89.9
B	3.0	83-86.9

C+	2.33	77-79.9
C	2.0	73-76.9
C-	1.66	70-72.9
D	1.0	60-69.9
F	0.0	0-59.9

 

 

	P = No Grade Point Value For satisfactory work in a course taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
	NP = No Grade Point Value Doctoral Program only. For work that demonstrates limited mastery of the material or method of inquiry.
	W = No grade point value For a course from which the student has withdrawn, with the approval of the instructor and advisor, or Provost or relevant Dean, before the withdrawal deadline.
	WA = No Grade Point Value Academic or administratively initiated withdrawal.
	WF =  0.0 Academic or administratively initiated withdrawal while failing or for sanction. This grade is a terminal grade and changes are not accepted.
