Determination of re-entry to the MSW Program will be reviewed by the MSW Program Team for decision to approve or deny re-entry request.

Procedure

Overview: Students applying to re-enter the MSW Program will complete a re-entry form and submit it to the Office of Student Services. The Academic Enrollment Services (AES) – Re-Entry team will provide the student with the MSW Program Re-Entry Petition Guidelines. Once the student completes the written petition following the guidelines, they will submit the document to the MSW Program Director. The petition will be reviewed by a team of MSW faculty for discussion and vote. The student will be notified in writing of the re-admission decision by the MSW Program Director. The notification will be copied to Academic Advising at SocialWorkAdvising@indwes.edu and Re-Entry at AES_ReEntry@indwes.edu for processing. All approvals will be conditional upon the student abiding by a Performance Improvement Plan that outlines the commitments made in the Petition and recommended by MSW team.
