Class Withdrawal

A written notice of withdrawal is required when a student desires to withdraw from a course or courses.

A student may withdraw from a course up to the end of the week which precedes the final week of the course by:

  1. Completing a withdrawal form (available in the Academic/Administrative Office).
  2. Mailing or faxing a letter requesting withdrawal and explaining the reason for withdrawal.
  3. Recommendation by faculty, based on excessive absences. Excessive absence is based on missing 75% of the first 40% of classes. NOTE: WITHDRAWAL FOR ABSENTEEISM DOES NOT REDUCE A STUDENT'S FINANCIAL OBLIGATION.
  4. Withdrawal made necessary by academic or social discipline.

The official withdrawal date is:

  1. The date the withdrawal form is turned in to the Academic Office/Administrative Office
  2. The postmarked date of the letter sent to the Academic Office/Administrative Office
  3. The date the fax was sent OR
  4. The date of the notice of withdrawal by the college.

All refunds will be based on the official withdrawal date. (Refer to Refund Policy.)

For student-initiated withdrawals, failure by the student to complete a withdrawal form or to request withdrawal in writing may result in an “F” grade for the course in question.

Students who withdraw during the first 60% of a course, with the approval of the college, will have a “W” (withdrawal) grade entered on their permanent record. Students withdrawing after the first 60% of a course will receive a “WP” (withdrawal passing) or a “WF” (withdrawal failing) for the course work completed up to the date of withdrawal; this will be recorded on the student’s permanent record. A withdrawal failing grade is figured into the GPA as a failure grade.
