Requirements for Readmission
William Jewell students who have been away from
the College for one semester without enrolling in
courses elsewhere may re-enroll by making
arrangements through their advisor to register for
the new semester.
Students who have been away more than a
semester, or who enrolled elsewhere during their
time away, are required to apply for readmission.
This may be accomplished by completing the
Application for Admission and Scholarship
(www.jewell.edu/apply/) and supplying transcripts
for any academic work completed at other
institutions. No application fee is required for
students applying for readmission, but students are
strongly encouraged to file a FAFSA in order to
qualify for any financial aid which may be available.
International Students
William Jewell College is authorized under federal
law to enroll nonimmigrant students.
Once an international (non-U.S. citizen) student has
been accepted by the Office of Admission and
decides to attend William Jewell College, the Office
of International Studies begins the U.S.C.I.S. (U.S.
immigration) paperwork process for the student and
will match the student with a local host family if
one is requested. The Office will provide support
and direction to international students throughout
their tenure at William Jewell. The International
Student Advisor provides information about F-1
visa obligations and paperwork for internships,
working off-campus, and/or postgraduate
employment. The Office also offers events for
international students, their host families, and the
campus community. The Office of International
Studies helps ensure that international students
comply with all state and federal regulations and
adjust to living in the United States.
International students live in the residence halls,
and are initially paired with American roommates.
This arrangement provides for a unique living
environment for any student and proves to be
valuable for both parties.
Prospective students who need to develop their
English skills are invited to do so through the HLI-
Liberty branch of The Language Company, located
on the William Jewell College campus. All students
who complete their studies of the English language
through that program are invited to consider
becoming an international student at William
Jewell. The Office of International Studies offers the
Host Student program, a program in which a
William Jewell student selects and coordinates
William Jewell student hosts, to introduce Language
Company students to campus and involve them in
