Common Obstacles

Outstanding Balance

If you have an outstanding balance on your student account, you must pay it before you can reenroll (depending on if your account was sent to collections).

  • If your balance has not been sent to collections, you must get your balance below $1,000.
  • If your balance has gone to collections, you must pay the complete balance.
Academic Dismissal

If you have been academically dismissed with a severe cumulative honor point deficiency and have not attended WIU for 3 or more years, we encourage you to review the New Start option to aid in your academic progression.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

If you did not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements, you can submit an appeal. Learn more about Satisfactory Academic Progress and submitting an appeal.
