nonadmission
Refusal of entry
Nonadmission is the act or policy of not admitting someone or something.
It typically appears in institutional contexts—a school's nonadmission of certain applicants, a court's nonadmission of tainted evidence, a country's nonadmission of refugees.
The word emphasizes deliberate exclusion rather than mere absence: The hospital's nonadmission policy for uninsured patients drew criticism.
