ACADEMIC POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Below are a few key areas to review in the 2025-26 Greenville Technical College Handbook and Catalog.
ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Attendance and participation are necessary for academic success. The student’s record of attendance will begin on the first day of the course, even if registration occurs after the semester has begun. Students are expected to attend and complete all scheduled instructional activities, both in class and online.
A student may withdraw from any course up to the published deadline. If the student drops the course during the add/drop period, no course tuition will be charged. If a withdrawal occurs after the drop/add period, tuition charges will result. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute an official withdrawal from the course and may result in financial aid consequences. Refer to the Refund Policy (https://www.gvltec.edu/tuition-refunds/) for details.

No credits or grade points will be awarded and the WA will not affect the GPA. The student will be responsible for course payment in accordance with the college refund policy. The
