Withdrawing from Classes

Withdrawing from Classes/College

After the first week of the semester, students may withdraw from a class they no longer want to attend; students will receive a grade of W on their transcript. To withdraw from a class, visit the Academic Advising Office and speak with an advisor. Advisors will provide a withdrawal form that must be taken to the instructor for signature before submission to the Records and Registration Office for processing. After the 10th week of the semester, the student must meet with the instructor to initiate a course withdrawal. The instructor will assign a grade of WP (withdraw passing) or WF (withdraw failing) for the course. Submit the form to the Records and Registration Office for processing.

Administrative Withdrawal

The college reserves the right to withdraw students from classes at any time during the semester.

Refunds

An exception may be approved for a student withdrawing for medical reasons, if adequate documentation is submitted.

Registration is regarded as a commitment by the student to comply with all regulations of the college. In addition to the regular registration period, the college offers the student an opportunity to register at an earlier date to allow extra time for effective use of advising services and to permit access to classes which fill early in the regular registration period.   Please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates.
