Withdrawal
Withdrawal from a course during the first eight days of classes requires approval of the advisor. After that time, approval of both the advisor and course instructor is required. Students are responsible for filing a completed Schedule Adjustment Form with the Registrar. A course may be dropped with a notation of “W” (withdrew) during the first 45 class days of the semester. Course withdrawals after the 45th day of classes result in a grade of “F” for the course.
After the first eight days of classes, the hours for courses dropped are included in the total hours attempted.
A decision to cease attending classes does not constitute withdrawal from a course. Withdrawal is official on the day the Schedule Adjustment Form, properly signed is returned by the student to the Registrar. Refer to the Administrative Withdrawal section of this catalog for further information.
Medical Withdrawals
Requests for medical withdrawal from the College are made to the Vice President and Dean of Students (Student Affairs Office, Bartlett Hall, Rm. 327). For a request to be considered, the following conditions must be satisfied:
- The student’s medical condition developed or became more serious during the semester in question.
- The medical condition is significant to the point that it is the primary reason the student cannot attend classes and/or complete required work.
- The student provides documentation that he/she is under the care of a licensed physician or licensed mental health professional.
The grade of “W” is recorded for each course affected.
Students withdrawing from the College under this policy are subject to the Refund Policy as described in this Catalog.
Requests for medical withdrawal from individual classes are made to the Vice President and Dean of the College (Fayerweather Hall, Suite 309). This action is taken in only extreme cases and is viewed as a “last resort measure.” For a request to be considered, the following conditions must be satisfied:
- The request is made before the last day of classes (before the examination period) in a given semester.
- The student provides evidence that the medical condition has a singular and isolated effect in the individual class to the point that attendance and completion of requirements are not possible.
The grade of “W” is recorded for each course affected.
