What Every ReEntry Student
Should Know!!
ReEntry students can face unique challenges when returning to a University environment. Many ReEntry students have already established careers and families and have obligations that traditional students do not have. Services and resources that are not typical for the traditional student may often be found somewhere on or off campus, but require a non-traditional approach. In an effort to assist ReEntry students' transition into University life, we have provided some information that has helped ReEntry students in the past and will hopefully help you. These links are not all of the services or resources available to Cal Poly students, but they are the ones that are most often required. The resources listed below are available to all Cal Poly Students. Transfer students and new students can similarly benefit from reviewing and taking advantage of these resources.
