Late Registration/Withdrawals
Late Registration
All students must be registered for their class(es) prior to the first scheduled meeting of the second week of class(es).
A registered student may, under extenuating circumstances, add a course(s) prior to the first meeting of the third week of classes, provided the student receives explicit approval of the faculty member involved, in addition to the approval of the advisor and appropriate Associate Dean.
Withdrawal From the College
If a student plans to withdraw from the College, the necessary withdrawal form should be obtained from the academic advisor. The student should then have the form signed by a counselor, the student’s faculty advisor, the Financial Aid Officer, and the Bursar's Office. The completed form is then returned to the Registrar’s Office. Failure to do this may result in loss of eligibility for future financial aid as well as a forfeiture of opportunity for withdrawal without penalty.
No withdrawal is permitted after the 65th day of classes of a semester or its equivalent.
Withdrawal from Courses
Students wishing to withdraw from a course should secure the necessary withdrawal form from the Registrar’s Office and have the form signed by the faculty advisor and by the instructor. The completed form is then returned to the Registrar’s Office. Failure to withdraw properly results in the assignment of a grade of “Y” for the course which is treated as an “F” in determining the student’s cumulative average.
A grade of “W” is guaranteed when the withdrawal form is filed in the Registrar’s Office prior to completion of 87% of the scheduled number of days in the session. Students withdrawing after this period receive a grade of “W” if passing or “X” if failing at the time of withdrawal.
Students are not permitted to withdraw from a course after the 65th instructional day in a semester or its equivalent. Withdrawals will not be accepted on or after the last day of a course offered on other than a regular semester.
When not certain how withdrawal from a course will affect graduation, scholarship aid, veterans benefits, etc., the student should see a counselor to discuss such concerns.
Administrative Course Withdrawal
An instructor may initiate an administrative withdrawal when lack of class attendance may indicate that an individual is not a de facto student in a course or there is evidence a student does not have the ability to perform satisfactorily in the course. The Academic Dean will notify the student of the impending action and available options which must be pursued by a date indicated in the letter of notification. These options are official withdrawal from the course or indication by student of desire to continue in the course. No response from the student by the stated deadline will result in an administrative withdrawal. The student is encouraged to consult with the instructor to determine if continuation is feasible.
