Official withdrawal is a process used to drop all courses or drop the last course. Students who wish to withdraw must complete the Cancel/Withdraw to Zero form located in Campus Connection, under eForms. Students may officially withdraw from the college any time prior to the 12th week of instruction (full term) or sixth week of instruction (8-week session). Students who do not formally withdraw will receive a grade of “F” in all courses.
Students who officially withdraw after the fifth day of class following mid- term may be denied permission to enroll for the succeeding term. This penalty will be invoked if the student’s grades at the time of withdrawal would have placed them on academic suspension for the subsequent semester. This decision will be made by the Academic Standards Committee. If the student withdraws during the spring term, enrollment may be denied for the following fall term.
Unofficial withdrawal occurs when a student stops attending during the term resulting in unsuccessful grades without officially withdrawing. When a student unofficially withdraws, they will have a return of Title IV calculation completed on their financial aid. This calculation is based on the documented last day of an academically related activity. This may cause the student to owe money back to the institution or the Title IV aid program. Students who unofficially withdraw may go into student loan repayment early. Students who unofficially withdraw are immediately financial aid disqualified.
