WMU is partnering with ReUp Education
Western Michigan University is partnering with ReUp Education, an organization that helps colleges and universities re-enroll stop-out students. Through this collaboration, ReUp will leverage technology to help WMU find and connect with stop-out students, as well as provide them with a ReUp Success Coach to offer personalized, one-on-one support from pre-enrollment through graduation.
WMU has provided ReUp with the names of more than 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students who stopped attending between summer 2007 and fall 2021. ReUp plans to start reaching out to these students in the next few weeks with the goal of having them re-enroll as early as SUM I 2023. Please contact Carrie Cumming if you have any questions about this initiative.

As a reminder, March 20 was the last day for students to withdraw from spring classes. Withdrawal from a course will now only be permitted through the hardship withdrawal process via the Office of the Ombudsman.
