Women 23 years of age or older who have delayed entrance to college, or who wish to resume work toward the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, are considered resumers. Students who have completed course work at another college must apply for transfer admission. If, however, a student has completed more than 24 semester hours of transferable college work, submission of standardized test results (SAT or ACT) is optional.

Resumers who have no previous college experience must apply for first-year admission and should contact the Mills Office of Undergraduate Admission to speak with an admission counselor.

All resumers must have either a high school diploma, a GED, a state-approved high school proficiency exam, or an associate's degree. High school proficiency diplomas are not acceptable. Official secondary school transcripts must be submitted by all students. You must also provide two letters of recommendation from instructors if you have recently attended college, or a letter of recommendation from an employer if you have not.

Mills does not offer a special program for resuming women. Resumers are merged with the traditional aged population and typically enroll as full-time students. Over 25% of the undergraduate population are resumers. An informal network has been established through the Mary Atkins Association, a campus resumer student organization.
