Student Withdrawal Procedure
The sole responsibility to officially withdraw from any class(es) or the College lies with the student. The effective date of withdrawal is the date the student notifies the college of the withdrawal.
Students have the privilege of dropping a course during the first five days of a semester (or the first three days of the third mini-mester or summer semester), through their student portal, without the drop becoming a part of your permanent academic record and without it affecting your financial aid.
Please remember, any amount charged against student financial aid (PELL/Scholarships...etc.) in the bookstore will be owed back to the College.
The following criteria has been established for students who elect to withdraw after the fifth/third day of classes:
- Beginning the sixth day (full term) or fourth day (third mini-mester or summer) and through 60% of the term, students can withdraw from classes via their student portal. Students who elect to withdraw during this period will receive a grade of “W” on the official academic record and will not receive a refund of applicable tuition and fees.
- After the “W” (or 60%) through the end of the term (last day of class), students can withdraw from classes via their student portal. Students who elect to withdraw during this period will receive a grade of “F” on the official academic record and will not receive a refund of applicable tuition and fees.
- Students are prohibited from withdrawing from any class(es) during final exam week.
Students who choose not to withdraw from classes will be classified as abandoning the course. Abandoning a course instead of following official withdrawal procedures may result in a failing grade assigned by the instructor and financial aid adjustments to the student’s account, if applicable.
