Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act
The Student Right-to-Know Act requires disclosure of the completion or graduation rates of certificate and degree-seeking students to all prospective and enrolled students. This report is compiled by July 1 of each year. Copies of the report can be obtained on the Internet at www.clovis.edu. The annual report of crime on campus is also available in the Library and on the Internet at www.clovis.edu/notifications.
Withdrawing from Classes
Students cannot withdraw from any course(s) after the withdrawal deadlines published in the Academic Calendar at www.clovis.edu/AcademicCalendar. Students who need to withdraw
may do so online via Pathway or at the Admissions and Records Office or at the Cannon Air Force Base Educational Services Office prior to the deadline. Dual credit students must contact their
high school counselor to withdraw from a course. Withdrawal from a course can affect financial assistance or Veteran’s benefits. It is recommended that students consult an Academic Advisor and Financial Aid prior to withdrawing if they are receiving a Pell Grant.
If a student cannot withdraw online or appear in person, he/she must send signed permission with the individual who is completing the withdrawal form(s). The written permission must include
the student’s identification number (C Number) and specify the course(s) from which the student wishes to withdraw. Forms may also be faxed to 575.769.4027. In cases of extreme emergency, students may request permission from the Admissions and Records Office to make alternative arrangements prior to the withdrawal deadlines.
