Withdrawing from the College

Students who must drop all of their courses should officially withdraw from the College. Officially withdrawing from the college will ensure that the correct grades are assigned for each course. To officially withdraw from the college, a student must complete a Withdrawal From College Form available from Enrollment Services.

When a student officially withdraws from college, the student’s course(s) will be assigned withdrawal grades as prescribed in the Drop a Course policy. Students who discontinue their studies and officially withdraw from college are no longer considered to be enrolled at the college or matriculated in their program. If a student wishes to return to the college and wants to be enrolled (matriculated) in a program, the student must officially reapply for admission to a program if it has been three or more years since their withdrawal from the college.

Special Notice about Dropping a Course or Withdrawing from College

Students who are receiving any form of Financial Aid or Veterans Educational benefits, international students on a student visa and students participating in college sports or other activities which have eligibility criteria, should consult with the respective office PRIOR to dropping a course. Reducing hour credit load may adversely affect eligibility to receive Financial Aid, Veterans Educational benefits, could jeopardize the student’s visa status, or make one ineligible to participate in collegiate sports or other activities. In addition, most private insurance companies require that students be full time (12 credits or more) to be eligible for coverage.

Students who choose to withdraw from one or more of their courses after the last day of the Refund Period are still responsible for any outstanding costs associated with those courses.  If there are extenuating circumstances, a student can appeal for an exception to the refund policy.
