Provost Communication, Wednesday, April 12, 2023

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a great week. It’s a busy time of the semester although I’m glad to see that Spring appears to have finally arrived!

Updates from the Office of the Registrar

It is easier than ever for students to return and finish their bachelor's degree! The Office of the Registrar in collaboration with the Office of Admissions have streamlined the returning process even more since last year. Moving forward:

• Students who previously attended but did not finish a bachelor's degree (undergraduate and second-bachelor’s), can now go to the updated website and complete the form.  No need to apply on CalStateApply OR pay the application fee. Whether they've been gone 2 years or 25 years, they can all use the form. Behind the scenes everything is more or less the same, but we're creating one point of entry to simplify the process for students. 
• Returning admissions website has been updated and you can access it here: https://admissions.humboldt.edu/apply/returning
• Disqualified/reinstatement applicants can use this process as long as they've been away from Humboldt for the required amount of time (see the timeline tool - humboldt.edu/reinstatement). They will still need to Petition for Reinstatement just like always and be approved by the committee, but we're just cutting out the application fee/CalStateApply process since they are prior students of ours. (the reinstatement website is in the process of being updated)

The university has made significant strides in assessment practices across campus, and this Assesstivus event will offer appreciation and commendation for the work behind those strides. 

Faculty and staff presentations will showcase noteworthy practices, and awards will honor accomplishments and service. All members of the Cal Poly Humboldt community are invited to join us, so we hope to see you there. Please RSVP by clicking on this link by April 21, 2023.
