Allums made international headlines last year after announcing the wish, before the start of the season in November, to be referred to as a man.
Despite this, the 5 ft 11 player had delayed hormone treatments and gender-changing surgery in order to continue playing for the women's team.
Today's statement offered no further details, although GW said Allums has enrolled in classes for the fall semester.
Allums suffered two concussions early in the season and played in only eight games.
Speaking in March, Allums talked memory problems resulting from the concussions.
The blackouts led to lingering doubts about the player's medical fitness to participate in the next season.
Doctors at the time said that if the same were to happen to a football player, their days would certainly be over.
