Re-entry students were once degree-seeking 51ÁÔÆæ students but have not attended 51ÁÔÆæ for a full academic year and are ready to return to college to complete their degree. Students returning to 51ÁÔÆæ can apply here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand that life happens. Sometimes you get pulled in a different direction or just need time to decide what path is best for you. Whatever reason you stepped away, we\u2019re excited you\u2019re back and ready to finish your degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
