Optional Credentials Please see listing of optional credentials under Application Requirements for First-Year Students. Reentry Scholars Reentry scholars are students beyond traditional college age who wish to begin or resume their college education. Scripps College welcomes the experience and maturity that reentry scholars bring to the college community. A reentry scholar should follow the admission requirements for either a first-year applicant or a transfer applicant depending upon previous education. Motivation is a key factor to the success of reentry scholars.
Every effort is made to integrate reentry scholars into the fabric of campus life.
Special activities, social events, and advisers are available to them. Several carrels at Denison Library and a lounge in one of the residence halls are set aside for their use. Reentry scholars also meet regularly for lunch, often with members of the faculty and administration. Reentry scholars who do not seek a bachelor's degree may audit or enroll in individual classes for credit on a part-time basis as space permits. Such students may at any time apply for admission to the degree program.
