Resuming Your Education as a Re-entry Student
If you are an adult aged 25 or older and have either experienced a
significant break in your education or are considering earning a University
degree for the first time, you may be a re-entry student. (If you have ever
attended UC Irvine as a student in a regular session, you should contact
the Registrar's Office for information on the
Readmission
Program or call (949) 824-6124.)
Re-entry students constitute a unique component of the UC Irvine campus
population, one that contributes to the richness, breadth and dimension
of this university. UC Irvine's re-entry students come from a variety
of professional, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. Many have families;
many have jobs; some have pursued not one, but a number of careers; and
some have attended several universities. They present a very diverse
and interesting group.
You can contact the re-entry student advisor directly for assistance in learning about
UC Irvine's
academic majors and programs of study, UC Irvine's admission requirements,
and how to apply when you are ready (and how to know when you ARE ready).
In addition, the re-entry student advisor can refer you to appropriate
campus support services for childcare, financial aid, and on- and off-campus
housing. You can also look at the
requirements for transfer students
for information on how to meet admission requirements.
