We Want You Back!
Complete Your Degree at GVSU
It's Time to Move Forward
What if returning to college wasn't about looking back, but moving forward? At Grand Valley, we help adult learners build on the progress they've already made and transform it into new opportunities. Whether you're finishing a degree or charting a new direction, we'll maximize your past credits and connect you with flexible programs, online and evening classes, and personalized advising designed around your life.
Let's Get Started
- Submit a completed and signed Petition to Return form to the Registrar's Office ([email protected]).
- If you have attended any institutions after leaving GVSU, have official copies of your transcripts sent to [email protected].
- File your FAFSA for financial aid consideration. Connect with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships ([email protected] or 616-331-3234) if you have any questions.
