Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's son, who was jailed for his part in the tuition fee riots, will be allowed to return to Cambridge University, it was confirmed on Thursday.
Charlie Gilmour will be allowed to resume his studies at Girton College in October, the institution said.
History student Gilmour was handed a 16-month jail term in July for going on a drink and drug-fuelled rampage at a student fees protest in December 2010.
A college spokesman said: "Girton College Council has decided to allow Mr Gilmour to return in October 2012 subject to him providing, and abiding by, assurances as to his future good behaviour."
Gilmour, from Billingshurst, West Sussex, had admitted violent disorder after joining thousands of people demonstrating in London's Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square.
During a day of riots he was seen hanging from a Union Flag on the Cenotaph and leaping on to the bonnet of a Jaguar car that formed part of a royal convoy.
Kingston Crown Court heard that the student had turned to drink and drugs after being rejected by his biological father, the writer Heathcote Williams, and had taken LSD and valium in the hours leading up to the violence.
Gilmour apologised afterwards for his behaviour and claimed he had not realised the significance of the Cenotaph.
He was released from prison in November - four months after he was sentenced.
