Rejoining the College is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. If the Dragonborn attacks any member of the College—be it a teacher or student—or gets caught stealing, they will receive this quest. At this point no member will speak to the Dragonborn and no further progression of the College quests may be made.
Background[]
Objectives[]
- Speak with Tolfdir
- Give Tolfdir 250 gold to lift your suspension (first suspension)
- Pay Tolfdir 500 gold to lift your suspension (second suspension)
- Pay Tolfdir 1000 gold to lift your suspension (third suspension)
Walkthrough[]
The Dragonborn must speak to Tolfdir and pay the fine he demands. If it is the Dragonborn's first suspension the fine will be 250 
, the second suspension is 500 , and the third and final allowed suspension is 1000 . Once the fine has been paid, the Dragonborn will be readmitted into the College of Winterhold. This can happen even after the Dragonborn has become Arch-Mage.
It is very similar to the Dark Brotherhood quest "Honor Thy Family" in which the Dragonborn is suspended from the Dark Brotherhood.
