Reentry. Education is the key to a better life and a more secure future. Reentry Services Program assists potential students, 25 years of age and older, who wish to begin or resume a college education.
Transitions are difficult for people of all ages because they usually entail changes in routines and adjustments to new relationships and surroundings.
The reentry staff has a special interest in fulfilling the changing needs of adult learners. Though many who have been away from the formal learning process are apprehensive, the success rate among returning students is high.
Adults possess certain assets that come only with age and experience. Older students tend to have strong motivation, coupled with a special eagerness to learn. Broader life experiences usually mean more effective coping skills. Staff and peer advisers help reentry students to make the best use of these advantages.
At the same time, returning individuals often face complicated circumstances which, while making further education desirable, also make it difficult to achieve. Reentry staff can help reentry students when complex issues need attention.
