Request for Readmission
A withdrawn student must submit a request for readmission to the Registrar. Requests for readmission in September must be sent to
the Registrar before March 1st; for readmission in January, before November 1st. Normally, students who have withdrawn from the
college must be away for at least one full semester.
The Administrative Board acts upon all requests for readmission and may require the applicants to meet with their Class Dean and/or
Director of Health Services, or submit letters of reference before considering the request.
Procedures for submitting a request for readmission: Be sure to follow each step listed below to ensure that your application
will be processed for the appropriate semester.
1.
Complete the reverse side of this application form.
2.
Prepare a one-two page typed essay addressing the following issues.




When and why did you leave Smith College?
Why do you wish to return to Smith at this time? (If appropriate, please address the issue of your readiness
to complete your education now.)
What is your intended major, and what are your plans for the remainder of your academic work at Smith?
What have you done since leaving Smith?
3.
Return the completed request form with an attached essay to the registrar’s office before the appropriate deadlines (see
above). The request for readmission will not be considered without the essay.
4.
If you completed coursework elsewhere since withdrawal from Smith or are currently enrolled at another institution, be sure
to list all your courses on the request form and attach copies of all course descriptions. Request that an official transcript of
completed coursework to date be sent directly to the registrar’s office. All transcripts must be received before the request
will be considered.
5.
If you are on medical leave, contact Health Services to begin the process for health clearance. Any student who withdrew on
a medical leave must obtain clearance before the Administrative Board can consider the request for readmission. The
process for health clearance must be completed by May 1st for return in the fall semester or December 1st for return in the
spring.
6.
Any student requesting readmission to Smith College, who is a financial aid applicant, must complete her financial aid
application by December 15th for spring readmission and by May 15th for fall readmission. Any financial aid applicant who
does not complete her financial aid application by the deadline may be denied readmission. Student Financial Services (SFS)
will be providing a recommendation for readmission to the Administrative Board in cases where this deadline has not been
met. Please contact SFS with any questions regarding the financial aid application process.
Once the request has been received, it will be reviewed and you will be contacted about possible additional requirements or
the decision of the board. All communications from the registrar's office concerning readmission will be sent electronically.
Please be sure to provide a current email address at which we may contact you throughout the process.
