An Administrative withdrawal from The College may be processed for a student in good academic standing who has failed to remain in contact with the Academic Affairs Office for an extended period of time or has not enrolled in a year.

Readmitted students must satisfy the academic requirements in effect at the time of readmission. Students who have been suspended from SMWC and are allowed to be re-admitted will be on restriction or academic probation during their first term back. Students who do not finish the term with at least a 3.0 GPA may not be allowed to continue in Woods Online. Student Complaints In the course of admission or enrollment, a student may have a formal problem, complaint, grievance or issue that needs resolution. The definition of a formal complaint is a complaint directed to senior administrative representatives of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College about the institution and/or its operation that students wish to have formally resolved. Faculty, staff and administrators are committed to helping resolve such situations. The student should first bring any problem directly to the person(s) involved to communicate concerns and attempt to find an acceptable solution. If a resolution cannot be reached, the student should proceed to the student consumer complaint section
