Withdrawal Policy
 

A student who elects to withdraw from a course or from the College is expected to consult with his/her instructors, faculty, advisor, and counselor.  To withdraw officially from the college, a student must complete a Drop/Add Form which is available through the Office of Student Development, advisors, or the faculty secretary.  The form must be signed by the student, the student's advisor, and the student's instructor(s) and include the last date of attendance.  The student should then submit the Drop/Add Form to the Student Development Office.  Students who officially withdraw from a course or from the College on or prior to the official withdrawal date, which is 60 percent plus one day point of a 16 week semester (or equivalent days for courses of other duration), will receive a "W" with no effect to the GPA.

An administrative withdrawal from a course submitted beyond the official withdrawal date will received a grade of "WF.  An administrative withdrawal may be submitted when a student exceeds absences for 20% of the course.  The grade of "WF" will be calculated as a failing grade (0 Quality Points) in determining the student's GPA.  A "WF" carries the same effect as an "F: (Failure).

If the student presents written documentation of extenuating circumstances which make it impossible for the student to continue in the course after the mid-term, a grade of "W" may be awarded by the Vice President for Student Development. 

Notice:  Any student receiving financial aid, who stops attending all of his/her courses prior to the 60% plus one day point of the semester may owe back to the College a portion of the aid received that semester.  Contact the Financial Aid Office to determine the your financial obligation.
