If you are not enrolled and would like to return to Miami next semester, you may apply for re-enrollment by completing an application at https://MiamiOH.edu/reenroll
If you are not currently enrolled as a student but are continuing class work toward degree completion, ask a qualifying sponsor (e.g., your department Dean or Chair, or an advisor) to request a courtesy account on your behalf for this purpose. You will need to provide this sponsor with your address and phone number so that they can complete the courtesy account request form. If you wish to make sure there is no discontinuation in your account, please request a courtesy account before the 180-day expiration deadline
