Dismissal and Reinstatement

Students who are dismissed for academic reasons may petition for reinstatement after completing a minimum of one full-time semester at another accredited institution and receiving no grade below a C.

The following is the procedure for possible reinstatement:

• The student writes to the registrar to request permission to return to Hood.
• The student provides transcripts of work attempted elsewhere or other pertinent information.
• The Committee on Academic Standards and Policies reviews the request and makes a decision regarding reinstatement.

A student who is reinstated will be placed on academic probation. Reinstatement does not automatically reinstate financial aid. The student must notify the Office of Financial Aid.

If a student is dismissed for nonacademic reasons, the student must request in writing to the dean of students permission to return to Hood. The dean of students decides if the student may be reinstated.
