We know that most stopouts are best served by returning to the school they left, but for many students that’s no longer an option. To support the millions of stopped out students for whom transfer is the best path to complete, our network of innovative colleges and universities provides students with access to over 1,300 academic programs tailored for the adult learner and aligned with the future of work.
Through this additional service to find the right fit, we create a more dynamic and equitable ecosystem to meet the needs of all students, while becoming the easiest way for stopouts to return or transfer.
Attract qualified transfer students from across the country.
Create meaningful outcomes for a largely underserved population.
There’s no cost to partner with ReUp and our network of schools is included.
Stopouts who find themselves years out of school and with different needs and goals than when they first enrolled have the difficult task of navigating a complex landscape of completion options. Often, students with some college credit and no degree have new career ambitions since stopping out and, in some cases, can’t return to their original institution because the program or modality they are now looking for is not available. In other cases, relocation makes returning to their original institution inconvenient or impossible.
Our network was created to fill this gap between motivated stopouts and the higher education institutions who seek to support these learners.

A teacher once told Stephanie, “If you do not learn something new every day, you’ve wasted your day.” Stephanie took this to heart and pushes herself every day to challenge the way she thinks and how she interprets the world. But this wasn’t always the case.
It took me eight years to finish my undergraduate degree. Three different schools, two states, two kids, one marriage, and multiple degree changes later, I finally had my degree. I was one of those people who “life” happened to throughout my undergraduate experience. I never planned it to be that way, which makes my academic journey so fitting for a person like me.
My college journey is atypical. It started off when I was living in Memphis. I had applied and been accepted to several universities. I was offered an academic scholarship to Rhodes College, but I turned it down because they were a D III football program and I thought I could get better offers. (Ha. Youth.) But because I waited so long to accept any offers, there was no money for me to go to school.
When I coach students, one of the main things I focus on is their ‘why,’ or their motivation behind finishing their degree. I do this because in my own experience, my ‘why’ was what kept me going from an early age toward my goal of being the first person in my family to graduate from college. My ‘why’ was my older brother Jeffy.
