Online Reentry Degree Completion Program

As part of its commitment to assist our correctional students in making a successful reentry back into society, Ashland University has established an online degree option for reentry students, providing those who are Pell Grant eligible an opportunity to complete a degree without financial responsibilities for tuition or fees. Qualified students must apply to the program within one year of their release date.

Highlights of the Online Reentry Program
