A statement delineating reasons for transfer. 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.
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. International Students Scripps welcomes the richness and cultural diversity that international students bring to the Scripps College community. Although most students apply for entrance in the fall semester, Scripps College also accepts applications of students who wish to apply for entrance in the spring semester. The deadline to submit all materials for both first-year and transfer applicants is November 15.
