WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
Official withdrawal is the responsibility of the student. Course/Program changes may be made using the WebSMART registration system. If access to a computer is not available, students wishing to withdraw from a course may obtain an Add/Drop form from the Office of Admissions and Records, Building 2, second floor. A student who does not withdraw in accordance with established procedures may receive a penalty grade. Withdrawal from a semester length class during the first four weeks of instruction will delete the enrollment from the student's permanent academic record. For courses less than a full semester's duration, a student may withdraw prior to the completion of 30 percent of the period of instruction with no notation made on the student's academic record

After the fourth week of instruction, a student may withdraw from a semester length class, whether passing or failing, at any time through the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction and a "W" grade shall be recorded on the student's academic record. In courses of less than a regular semester’s duration, a student may withdraw prior to the completion of 75 percent of the period of instruction and a "W" grade shall be recorded on the student’s academic record.

The academic record of a student who remains in class beyond the time periods set forth above must reflect an authorized symbol other than "W" (see Grades and Grade Points). A student who must withdraw for verifiable extenuating circumstances after the deadline (i.e., personal illness, automobile accident, death or severe illness in the immediate family or other severe physical or emotional hardship) may petition the Academic Standards and Policies Review Committee for an exception to the policy. Any extenuating circumstances must be verified in writing (i.e. letter from physician, official accident report, obituary notice, etc.).

MILITARY WITHDRAWAL
Military Withdrawal may be requested when a student who is a member of an active or reserve United States military service receives orders required withdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such orders, a military withdrawal symbol (MW) will be assigned for each course if the withdrawal occurs after the period during which no notation is made for withdrawals on the student's record. Military withdrawals are not counted in progress probation and dismissal calculations. Students granted military withdrawal might request refund of the enrollment fee. The entire enrollment fee will be refunded unless academic credit has been awarded.
