Withdrawals

A student can withdraw from a class once the drop/add period has ended. There are two types of withdrawal. The first type of withdrawal is for students who want to withdraw from a class or classes, but still remain enrolled in at least one class. To withdraw from a class:

Student obtains a drop/add form from the instructor, school’s administrative office, or from Academic Support
Student completes the form and has the instructor sign off on the form
Student brings the form to Academic Support

A student withdrawing from a class before or on the mid-term date will receive a grade of “W,” which does not calculate into the student’s GPA, but does impact a student’s completion rate for financial aid. Students must successfully complete 67% of all classes attempted to remain eligible for financial aid. A student withdrawing after the mid-term will receive a grade of “WF,” which negatively affects the GPA (equivalent of earning an F) and course completion rate.

The second type of withdrawal is a Full Withdrawal. Students withdrawing from all academic classes must complete the full withdrawal process:

Students needing to withdraw completely should be sent to Academic Support
Academic Support will assess the situation and involve Student Development if necessary (i.e. Medical Withdrawal).
Instructor/Dean signature is not required for a full withdrawal

Before midterm, a student will be withdrawn from all classes with a grade of ‘W.’ After midterm, a grade of “WF” is given. Students living in housing may incur breach of contract fees and a complete withdrawal can negatively impact Financial Aid eligibility.
