Eligible re-admitted students can now apply for the Second Start Readmission Program directly through the Student Center Form Library. This new process streamlines access to the program while maintaining the same eligibility requirements and academic policies.

2026-2027 Annual Notice of FERPA Student Rights
Students recently received an email outlining their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the federal law that governs access to student education records.
Employees who work with student data are expected to handle that information in compliance with FERPA and university policy. For an overview of these responsibilities and available training, visit the Instructor and Staff FERPA page.
Graduation Fees Eliminated Beginning Fall 2026
Beginning in Fall 2026, the University of Arizona will eliminate graduation application and degree candidacy fees for all students.
Removing these fees is part of the university's ongoing commitment to student success and degree completion. By eliminating this cost, the university is helping ensure that every student can take the final steps toward graduation with fewer financial barriers. University systems, communications, and websites are being updated to reflect the new process and remove fee-related requirements.
Wait List Information & Resources
Information and resources about wait lists are available for students, staff, department enrollers, and department schedulers. Guidance is tailored to each audience and includes information on wait list processes, enrollment responsibilities, and best practices for supporting enrollment in full classes.
The page also includes direct links to resources tailored for each audience:
