college will notify the student of the administrative withdrawal via the student’s official college email address. For students receiving financial aid, this withdrawal will not count as a course attempt and will not affect future financial aid awards.
§ 14-Day Rule: At any time during the semester and regardless of a student’s use of financial aid benefits, the college will withdraw a student who is not in attendance for 14 consecutive calendar days including weekends, holidays, college breaks and canceled class sessions, and college breaks lasting four days or less. Breaks of five or
more days will be excluded from the 14-day attendance count.
§ Prior to the course withdrawal date, the college policy is to assign a grade of W
(Withdrawn). No credits or grade points will be awarded and the W will not affect the GPA. For students receiving financial aid, the course will count as an attempt and may affect future financial aid awards.
§ After the course withdrawal date, the college will assign a grade of WF (Withdrawn Failing) for the course, which will negatively affect the GPA calculation. The student will be responsible for course payment and will not be eligible for a refund. The college will notify the student of the administrative withdrawal via the student’s official college email address. For students receiving financial aid, the course will be recorded as an attempt and may affect future financial aid awards.
Students who have been administratively withdrawn from a course may request reinstatement. Reinstatements must be approved by the course instructor.
Administrative reinstatement into a course:
§ A student who has been withdrawn from a course may request reinstatement if the student notified the instructor of absences as they occurred and has documentation to support those absences, if appropriate. Both the instructor and the department head must approve the reinstatement. Course, department and school policies regarding making up course work will apply; the instructor’s decision regarding missed work will be final.
§ The college will charge a reinstatement fee in accordance with the Tuition and Fee Schedule for each course for which reinstatement is approved - $75 per course.
With the approval of the chief academic officer, individual departments may set attendance requirements that are more stringent than those stated above if they are required by accreditation bodies or other similar oversight. Those requirements must be published in the course syllabus. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the course attendance policy.
Note: Drops and/or withdrawals may affect the full-time or part-time enrollment status of a student including, but not limited to, VA and other financial aid benefits.
