Withdrawals

Withdrawals

1. Course Withdrawal
   Instructors are responsible for providing students with a course syllabus at the beginning of the semester stating their attendance policy and administrative withdrawal procedures. Instructors have the option to ‘Administrative Withdraw’ students from classes for reasons of excessive absences.
2. Administrative Withdrawals
   Students can be administratively withdrawn from a course by their instructors for excessive absences. Instructors provide students with a course syllabus at the beginning of the semester stating their attendance policy and administrative withdrawal procedures. The Registrar is allowed to administratively withdraw students who have not met financial obligations to the College. Administrative withdrawals are processed up to three weeks before the start of final examinations. The Admissions and Records Office notifies students by mail if they have been administratively withdrawn. If students wish to remain in the course, they need to contact the instructor within three days to be reinstated. If the withdrawal is financial, the business office must be contacted to make payment arrangements. Instructors are not required to provide make-up work or reinstate students who have been administratively withdrawn from class. Students who have been withdrawn and are not reinstated receive a WA on their transcript. Re-enrollment in a subsequent semester is required to achieve a grade for the course. Students are required to pay for these courses.
3. Student Withdrawals
   Students may have a W posted on their transcript instead of a letter grade by officially withdrawing from a course. Students are required to pay for withdrawn courses. To officially withdraw, students must submit a withdrawal form to the Admissions and Records Office. Students may withdraw using written notification to the Admissions and Records Office postmarked by the published final withdrawal date. If students stop attending but do not officially withdraw from a course, an F is posted on their transcript. The deadlines for withdrawing are as follows:
   1. Semester courses (16 weeks): Students may withdraw up to three (3) weeks before the start of final examinations.
   2. Summer session, mid-term, and block courses: Students may withdraw up to two (2) weeks before final examinations.
   3. Mini-courses: Withdrawals are not allowed after classes start.
