Withdrawal Policy/Leave of Absence
Withdrawing from a Course (after Add/Drop)
Students may withdraw from a course up to the midpoint of the semester. To withdraw, a student must file the appropriate form in the Office of Records and Registration. Students withdrawing from course within the withdrawal period will automatically receive a grade of W, which has no effect on the student's grade point average. Withdrawal from classes may impact satisfactory progress requirements for financial aid. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw officially from a course. Failure to withdraw formally may result in failing grades and dismissal. Formal withdrawal deadline dates may be obtained from the office of Records and Registration.
Withdrawing from The College (after Add/Drop)
Students who withdraw from The College before the midpoint of the semester will be assigned a grade of WD in all courses. Withdrawal after that will result in the instructors' assigning the grades of WP or WU (which do not affect a student's GPA), or WF (which is calculated as an F in a student's GPA). A student may not withdraw from The College in the last three weeks of a semester.
To withdraw officially, a student should initiate the withdrawal process in the Office of Student Life. Students receiving financial aid should consult the Office of Student Accounts prior to completing the withdrawal process to ascertain possible financial obligations from the current semester and eligibility for aid in future semesters. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw officially from The College. Failure to withdraw formally may result in failing grades, dismissal, and/or financial obligations.
