Navigating the path back to academia after a hiatus can sometimes feel daunting. The University of Southern Maine (USM) simplifies this journey for former and prospective students with its Reactivation/Readmission Application for Undergraduate Admission. Designed with a clear purpose, the form enables individuals who have previously embarked on their educational journey at USM but didn't cross the finish line, to reignite their academic aspirations. Whether you applied within the last year and didn't enroll, are seeking a second undergraduate degree after already earning one from USM, or are returning after a break of more than ten years, this form serves as your first step back. Accompanied by a modest nonrefundable fee of $20, it requires applicants to select their intended start date, outline educational background, and declare whether they've faced disciplinary actions or criminal convictions. Additionally, this document urges applicants to share their story through a personal statement, shedding light on their motivations for return. Transparency and full disclosure regarding past educational and disciplinary records are emphasized, underlining USM's commitment to fostering an inclusive and honest academic environment. As the gateway back into USM's academic community, this form is more than mere bureaucracy; it's a reaffirmation of the university's dedication to accessibility, inclusiveness, and the lifelong pursuit of education.
