Ring Eligibility Graduate students are eligible to order a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Ring if they have met the following requirements: In this highly anticipated and moving ceremony, qualified students receive the Woods ring, a unique onyx and gold ring — a symbol of pride, friendships, academic achievement, and personal growth. With its distinctive design, only SMWC students and alumni have the privilege of wearing the Ring. The oak leaves signify knowledge, and the six acorns represent the founders of the College. Students earn their participation in the ceremony through academic success in their junior year at SMWC, or for graduate students, when they are three-quarters of the way toward completion of their degrees. Students will be notified of their eligibility to receive the ring and are responsible for the purchase of the ring if they so choose to participate in this tradition.
