Drop and Withdrawal from a Course(s)
Official withdrawal from a course(s) is permissible at any point during the term with certain restrictions. No grade will be recorded for dropping a class during the refund period of each term (see note below). Official withdrawals after the refund period of the term and on or before the 75- percent point of the term will be recorded as a "WP" grade if the student initiates and properly completes the official withdrawal process. If the student stops attending without officially withdrawing from a course before or after the 75-percent point of the term, the student may receive a "WF" grade for the course. After the 75-percent point in the term, a "WF" grade may be assigned by the instructor for excessive absences or a student may elect to receive a "WF" grade prior to the beginning of the exam period.
There is no academic penalty for a "WP" or "WF" grade; however, for federal financial aid purposes, the course(s) given "WP" and "WF" grades may count as hours attempted but not earned. Any student who is receiving Veteran's benefits needs to check with the Veteran's Officer prior to withdrawing from any course since benefits will not be paid for a "WP" or "WF" grade.
Note #1: Curriculum students who officially withdraw from the College prior to the first day of the semester are eligible for a 100-percent refund of tuition. Students who withdraw after the beginning of the term but by the 10-percent point are eligible for a 75-percent refund.
Note #2: Students are advised that all signatures required to complete a Change of Registration form must be obtained by the student. Students must realize that instructors are not available at all times and gathering signatures on the final day of the withdrawal process may not be possible. Deadlines are enforced.
