A student may withdraw from a course after the last day to add/drop by
obtaining the form and following the procedure as set forth by the Academic Dean’s
Office. The withdrawal must have the approval of the Academic Dean, the instructor
and the Business Officer. Students may withdraw from a class through the date indicated
on the academic calendar (six weeks after the first class day for long-term semesters;
eight days after the first class day for summer semesters) and receive a grade of “W.”
After this date, withdrawal will result in a grade of “WP” if the student is passing the
course, or a grade of “WF” if the student is failing. Withdrawal after the last scheduled
day of the class will not be approved.
A grade of “W” or “WP” is not included in calculation of grade-point average,
but a grade of “WF” receives zero (0) grade points per semester hour.
In some cases, withdrawal from the college for that semester may be necessary.
Withdrawal can be initiated by the student or by the Academic Dean for due cause. Due
cause may include failure to satisfy financial obligations to the college or failure to attend
classes. In any case proper withdrawal must involve use of the official withdrawal form
and procedures by the student or by an official representative to secure an honorable
withdrawal. The process must be initiated and concluded through the Academic Dean’s
Office. Official withdrawal from classes will take effect only when the student has been
cleared by all appropriate departments, including clearance by the Business Office
regarding financial obligations. Failure to attend classes or departure from the campus
does not constitute official withdrawal. In an honorable withdrawal, through the date
indicated on the academic calendar, a grade of “W” will be given, and after that date,
grades of “WP” or “WF” will be given. If proper withdrawal is not concluded by the
last scheduled day of classes, the student will receive grades as assigned by his or her
instructors.
Withdrawal after the last scheduled day of classes will not be approved.
