Dismissal and Reinstatement
Students who are dismissed from Hood College for academic reasons may petition for reinstatement after completing a minimum of one full-time semester (12 credits or more) at another accredited institution and receiving no grade below a C.
The following is the procedure for possible reinstatement:
1) The student fills out the readmission request form online to request permission to return to Hood.
2) The student provides transcripts of coursework attempted elsewhere and any other pertinent information.
3) The Committee on Academic Standards and Policies reviews the request and makes a decision regarding reinstatement.
A student who is dismissed and then reinstated will be placed on academic probation as they return to Hood. Reinstatement does not automatically reinstate financial aid. The student must notify the Office of Financial Aid to determine eligibility as a returning student.
If a student is dismissed for nonacademic reasons, the student must request, in writing, permission to return to Hood to the dean of students. The dean of students will then decide if the student may be reinstated.
