Academic Withdrawal

Any course withdrawal may have financial and academic consequences. When considering a course withdrawal, the student should contact the instructor to review options. If the student decides to withdrawal after speaking with the instructor, the student should then meet with the financial aid and academic advisors to review the financial and academic implications of the withdrawal. 

Students who chooses to withdrawal from one or more courses must submit the online withdrawal form located on the eStudent portal. Official withdrawal forms must be processed through the Registrar’s Office.

A student who chooses to withdraw from class prior to the last date of the published withdrawal posted on the academic calendar will earn a grade of (W). A grade of “W” counts as a course attempt which may affect the number of times the student can repeat the course. No withdraws occur after the published withdrawal posted on the academic calendar, students will receive their earned final grade.

Students who cease to attend one or more classes and do not complete a withdrawal form or formally notify the college of their intention to withdraw will receive a grade of “WA” in each course. Once a student has received a grade of WA they are no longer registered for the course and may not attend the course for the remainder of the term.

Students who stop attending class will not be released from financial liability.

Students who do not attend past the add/drop period published in the academic catalog will have all courses removed from their record for that semester and their tuition refunded. Add/drop is not considered a withdrawal.

Program Withdrawal

Students who wish to voluntarily withdraw from a program but remain enrolled at the College should contact their advisor and the Director of the Program. Students that withdraw from a program may apply to another program by completing the program transfer form.

College Withdrawal

When considering a college withdrawal, the student should meet with the financial aid and academic advisors to review the financial and academic implications of a college withdrawal. If the student decides to separate from the college, the student must submit the withdrawal form located on the eStudent portal.

The date of official college withdrawal is the date the withdrawal form was submitted. The Financial Aid Office will use the Official Withdrawal Date to calculate Federal & State aid eligibility based on regulations set by both entities.

The College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of any student whose academic work is unsatisfactory or whose conduct is not in accord with the spirit and aims of the College, its policies and expectations, or applicable law or regulation.

Official withdrawal forms must be processed through the Registrar’s Office.
