Course/Section Withdrawal
It is the responsibility of the student to report an official withdrawal from any course/section or any decision on the part of the student not to attend any registered course/section. The student must drop the course/section in Student Self-Service for it to be official.
Students who do not officially withdraw from a registered course receive an F or WF grade (withdrawal fail) for the course. Students who stop attending a course without officially withdrawing during the published refund periods will not be eligible for a retroactive refund.
Failure to attend classes and notify the instructor or failure to make or complete tuition payment does not constitute an official withdrawal.
Courses dropped between the end of the add/drop period and the last day to withdraw from a class will result in a WD grade (withdrawal) on the transcript. No course withdrawals are allowed after the withdrawal deadline.
WD grades earned via the official withdrawal procedure may not be changed.
Complete Withdrawal from the College
Official complete withdrawal must be reported on a complete withdrawal form and signed by the student. Withdrawal forms, available in the Registrar’s Office, must be presented to that Office after the necessary signatures have been obtained by the student. Students who withdraw without securing approval for a leave of absence (see below) or whose leave of absence has expired without renewal and who are subsequently readmitted will be bound by program and degree requirements in use during the academic year in which they are readmitted.
Leave Of Absence
If students are in good academic standing and have paid their College account in full, they can request a leave of absence by completing a “Leave of Absence Form.” Leaves are granted for up to one academic year, with extensions possible. If students return at the end of an approved leave, they do not need to apply for readmission.
Returning from a Leave of Absence
When applicable, if a student is requesting to return to campus after a leave, the registrar and/or the dean should consult with the counselor to review the circumstances of the leave. If deemed necessary by the dean and counselor, treatment records obtained during the leave of absence may be needed for review. Once received, the records will be reviewed by the counselor before granting a student’s return.
If necessary, upon return to campus, the student will meet with the counselor for an initial assessment. This information is communicated to the student with their return information from the registrar and/or the dean. If the student does not comply with this, the dean will follow up with the student.
Readmission
Students who take a semester or more off without an official leave of absence must apply for readmission. Applications for readmission are available from the Registrar’s Office and require approval by the following offices: Financial Aid, Bursar, Admissions, Registrar, Dean, Student Life. Students should allow two to three weeks for processing and should apply early to avoid late registration and late payment fees.
