Part 1 and Part 2 of the re-entry portfolio must be typed, double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. All work in the paper must be your own. If you choose to use any outside sources, you must properly cite in text and also include a Works Cited page. Please remember to proofread and spellcheck your paper.

Your portfolio must be received, via this online form, prior to being permitted to re-apply to the University. After submitting, please contact Community Standards & Conflict Resolution to inquire about the re-application process if you have not previously done so.

Failure to complete the re-entry portfolio in a satisfactory manner (as determined by Community Standards & Conflict Resolution staff) will result in a delay to your return to campus.

Details regarding how and when to schedule this meeting will be sent to your University email.

Failure to complete this meeting will result in a delay to your return to campus.
