Section One: Academic Regulations

Withdrawal Grades

IX. WITHDRAWAL GRADES

A. Fall and spring terms:

1. During the refund period (7 % of the instruction time) of the term, no record of a course the student has withdrawn from will appear on the student's transcript.
2. Following the refund period through 60% of the instruction time (approximately the ninth (9th) week of the term), a grade of "W" will be recorded on the transcript for any course withdrawal. This period is called the withdrawal period. Students are responsible for payment of tuition and course fees.
3. After the withdrawal period to the end of the term, no course withdrawal will be permitted. The student will receive the grade earned for the course and continue to be financially responsible for the course. 

B. Short courses, including winter and summer terms:

    1.  Instruction during  summer and winter terms is accelerated (15 
         calendar weeks of instruction is condensed into 4 calendar weeks).
    2.  When courses are scheduled to run less than the full 15 week term,           the refund period will be 7% of the instruction time and the
          withdrawal period will be 60% of the instruction time for the course. 
          Refer to the Credit Class Schedule  to confirm dates.

Students are encouraged to contact the Records Office, room A-112, for assistance in confirming dates and logistics for withdrawing from a course(s). To qualify for a refund, a student must officially drop a course(s) by submitting an Add/Drop/Withdrawal form to the Records Office within the refund time period. A student who withdraws during the withdrawal period continues to be financially responsible for the course(s). A student who stops attending or does not follow prescribed withdrawal procedures is not only financially responsible for tuition and fees, but will receive the grade earned for the course, usually an F.  

A student may file a written appeal with the Special Assistant to the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs to seek an exception to this regulation. Written documentation to verify a circumstance beyond the student's control will be required for consideration of any such appeal.
