I. Student Voluntary Withdrawal from Course(s)
A. Ten Percent (10%) Date
A student may withdraw from a course for a partial refund on or before the official ten percent (10%) date of the semester. For more information on tuition/fee refunds, see Tuition/Fee Refunds Policy. In the case of withdrawal on or before the official ten percent date (10%) date of the semester, the withdrawn course(s) will not be included on the transcript.
B. Seventy Five Percent (75%) Date
At any point prior to the seventy five percent (75%) date of the semester, a student may voluntarily withdraw from his/her courses. Students will not be allowed to voluntarily withdraw from courses past the seventy five percent (75%) date. All applicable deadlines will be published in the College’s official calendar.
It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from course(s) if he/she cannot meet the requirements of the course. The student should first consult his/her instructor or advisor before requesting to be withdrawn from a course. Students receiving financial aid should also consult a financial aid advisor before requesting to be withdrawn from a course. Withdrawing from a course could substantially delay the completion of the student’s program of study and may have impacts on future financial aid eligibility.
To officially begin the withdrawal process, the student should complete the “Drop a Course” electronic form.
Students must officially withdraw from any course they stop attending in order to ensure that they will not receive an “F” in the course. In the case of a withdrawal, the student will receive a “W” or “WF” (at the instructor’s discretion). A “W” will not impact the grade point average but will appear in the student’s official transcript.
II. Student Involuntary Withdrawal from Course(s)
- Students who register for a course and do not attend classes prior to ten percent (10%) will be dropped by the instructor.
- Any student who accumulates absences in excess of the course attendance policy may be withdrawn from the class at the instructor’s discretion. If a student’s absences exceed 15% of the scheduled class hours, the instructor may submit a Faculty Drop Form to officially withdraw the student from the course. Class attendance is calculated from the first officially scheduled class meeting through the last scheduled class meeting.
- Students maybe involuntarily withdrawal from courses for disciplinary reasons subject to the student discipline policies.
