There is no sobriety length requirement. Students with less than 90 days who are interested in becoming a member of the community will be asked to review and sign a 90 Day Recovery Protection Plan. Students will be considered a Supported Member until they have completed the 90 Day Recovery Protection Plan. The Recovery Protection Plan includes students committing to attending 90 meetings in 90 days, becoming engaged with a sponsor, mentor, or recovery coach, attend weekly Community Check-In’s, meet with CRP staff weekly for 15-minute individual sessions, complete a brief screening, and follow the recommendations of the CRP staff. If the student can adhere to and complete the plan, they will become official members of the CRP community, thus giving them full access to all services provided by the program.

This is not a requirement for membership, although it is suggested that the potential student have a solid foundation of recovery (recommended six months of continuous recovery) prior to attempting to return to academia and joining the community. College can be a stressful and hostile environment for a student that is in early recovery. However, with a strong foundation of recovery, students are more likely to be successful in their academics and recovery than they would be without this foundation.

The CRP advocates for students who may be just below the GPA, SAT, and ACT requirements, but it is not guaranteed that the Office of Admissions will admit the student. For transfer students, the GPA requirement will vary depending on the major of interest, amount of credit hours accrued and cumulative GPA. For freshmen students, the SAT/ACT requirement will depend on the major of interest and the rank in class.

It is strongly encouraged for students within the CRP community members to maintain a 3.0 each semester, but it is not a requirement to maintain membership. Maintaining a 3.0 GPA qualifies students for eligibility to apply for a scholarship. Scholarships are awarded based on having one year of continuous recovery, earning a 3.0 for both the fall and spring semesters, and participation within community events and activities.

Disclaimer: scholarship awards are based on annual funding amounts. 

The CRP is a program that supports students that are in all forms of recovery. Students interested in joining the community must be primarily in or seeking recovery from a substance use disorder.  It is important to the CRP to support students who are in recovery from other process addictions such as sex/love addiction, gambling addiction, self-harm and eating disorders, but the primary path of recovery should be from alcohol or other substances. The CRP does not offer treatment for any addiction, we only provide recovery support services.
