For over 30 years, the Re-entry Student Program has provided services and resources for the population of undergraduate students at Berkeley ages 25 and older.
We recognize that students of a non-traditional age come to Cal from all walks of life and bring with them diverse experiences and unique individual skill sets. But one thing they have in common is their commitment to scholarship and particular drive to succeed. Our goal is to foster connections and a sense of community among our re-entry student population and to offer specialized support as they pursue their academic and career goals.
We are located in B North of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Student Union building.
