Withdrawal from Individual Classes
A student wishing to withdraw from an individual class must obtain a change of registration card from the Records Office, complete the card, and return it to the Records Office before withdrawal is official (withdrawal cards are valid only for 72 hours after issuance). Students may withdraw from a class through the 15th calendar day after the middle of the class and receive a grade of W. Thereafter, withdrawal from a course may result in a grade of F and withdrawal will be allowed only upon approval by the Dean of Students, with such approval based on a formal petition from the student outlining exceptional circumstances necessitating withdrawal. The student will have the right to appeal this decision to the Instructional Advisory Council.
Withdrawal from College
Withdrawal from the college is the official discontinuance of attendance. Students wishing to withdraw must obtain a withdrawal form from the office of the Dean of Students, complete the form, and return the form to the office of the Dean of Students. A student who follows this procedure will receive a grade of W on his/her transcript for each of the classes in which the student is enrolled. Discontinuance of attendance without completion of the withdrawal procedure may result in a grade of F for each course in which the student is enrolled. Withdrawal from the college must be completed before the last 15 calendar days of the semester. If extenuating circumstances require withdrawal during the last 15 days of the semester, such approval for withdrawal may be granted by the Dean of Students, with such approval based on a formal petition from the student outlining exceptional circumstances necessitating withdrawal. The student or an individual instructor will have the right to appeal this decision to the Instructional Advisory Council.
Institutional Withdrawal
The Dean of Students may institutionally withdraw an individual from all classes in the event of a student's total abandonment of classes, a delinquent financial account, death, or other extenuating circumstances. The grade of IW (Institutional Withdrawal) is assigned to the student's classes and is not computed in the student's grade point average. The student will have the right to appeal this decision to the Instructional Advisory Council.
