[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 206799, member: 1451"] You are reading too much into it. [U]Every[/U] student who leaves school for more than two consecutive semesters has to apply for readmission. (And "readmission" is nothing—I repeat, [U]nothing[/U]—like the original admission process.) As long as the student left in good academic standing, it is basically an automatic approval—it is really just a way of officially notifying your major school (and the Institute) that you are going to be back on their active roster. I don't know of a single case where such a readmission was denied. A separate issue might be the Ten Year Rule—coursework more than ten years old has to be approved in order to apply to your degree. Again, this is a formality. I've approved such requests pretty much every time they've crossed my desk, and it is reasonably standard for all programs at Georgia Tech to do so. The Ten Year Rule is in place to make sure that you are not getting a degree based on knowledge that has since become obsolete. Think of a lapsed EE major from the 50s getting a degree in 2016 based on his knowledge vacuum tube technology, instead of digital electronics—or a returning CS major whose expertise is programming in COBOL. I have no doubt that Calvin would be accepted back into the BC program, and most (if not all) of his prior coursework will be accepted in a snap. Edit: Dang it! Everyone is beating me to the point, tonight...but to [USER=1439]@Buzz776g[/USER]: no, he would almost surely [B]not[/B] have to retake calculus; it has not changed in...oh...longer than any of us have been alive.
