Student-Initiated Withdrawal
Students who wish to withdraw may do so by contacting the Academic Dean or Program Director via telephone, mail, or preferably in person. The withdrawal date will be the student’s last date of attendance. A student who withdraws during the first seven calendar days of a grading period will not have that course(s) recorded on his or her transcript. A student who withdraws after the first seven calendar days of a grading period will receive a grade of “W” up to 14 calendar days before the end of the term. Within 14 calendar days of the end of the term, the student will receive either a “WF” or “WP” depending on quality of course work completed to date. This is not calculated in his or her cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The credits will count toward attempted credits.
The student will be provided with exit interview forms. There are financial and/or financial aid implications for withdrawing. Please consult with the Financial Aid and/or Business Office to determine how withdrawal will impact your student account.
Withdrawal for Violation of School Policy
The school may withdraw a student from his or her program of study for violation of published school policy. If a student withdraws from school without notifying the school, the withdrawal will be effective from the last date of attendance. If the student is withdrawn for violation of published school policy, the withdrawal date will be the last date of attendance.
A student who has been withdrawn during the first seven calendar days of a grading period will not have that course(s) recorded on his or her transcript. A student who has been withdrawn after the first seven calendar days of a grading period will receive a grade of “W,” which is not calculated in his or her cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The credits will count toward attempted credits.
Course Drop/Add Policy
The Drop/Add period for each term is 7 calendar days. A student who does not attend a course or whose last date of attendance (LDA) in a course is within the Drop/Add period may be voluntarily or involuntarily withdrawn from the course without academic or financial penalty. A student who does not post any attendance in a course in the first 14 calendar days after the start of the term will be unregistered from the course and not receive a grade for the course.
Course Withdrawal Policy
A student withdrawing or being withdrawn from a course who has posted attendance after the Drop/Add period but prior to the fourteenth calendar day before the end of the term, will receive a grade of “W”. Course withdrawals for students whose LDA falls within fourteen calendar days of the end of the term will receive either a grade of Withdrawn-Fail (WF) or Withdrawn-Passing (WP) depending upon the student’s grade for work completed up to the last date of attendance. A grade of WF will count as a failed attempt at the course (see Repetitions). Withdrawing from a course may impact a student’s eligibility for Financial Aid. Please speak with a Financial Aid Representative to discuss your individual account.
