Associated Policy:  Withdrawal, Drop, Refund Policy
Created Date: --.--.---- Effective Date:  4.16.18 Revised Date(s): 11.09.21; 10.17.2022

If dropping/withdrawing from a single course or from The College, a student should notify their Academic Advisor about their intention. The student should contact the Financial Aid Office (if they are using Aid) and the Student Accounts Office about how dropping course(s) will impact their financial obligations. If the student wishes to proceed with the withdrawal, the Academic Advisor will move forward with notifying the Registrar to drop the course. The withdrawal is complete when the Registrar has received notification and processed the grade and an effective last date of attendance.

Students who withdraw from course(s) or The College are responsible for any outstanding financial obligations at the time of withdrawal. If a balance is due, the student can pay in full or make payment arrangements with the Student Accounts Office. See Financial Obligation regarding the release of grades and transcripts when owing a debt to The College.

A withdrawal refund is not made unless the student has followed the withdrawal policy. Students may be eligible for a withdrawal refund once the course(s) have been officially dropped/withdrawn. Fees are non-refundable. Refer to the Refund Schedule below for the percentage of tuition refund a student is eligible to receive based on both the length of the course and the official drop/withdraw date filed in the Registration and Records Office.

Notification to an individual instructor or failure to attend class does not constitute an official withdrawal. An effective date of withdrawal and clarification of withdrawal from a course(s) or program at The College is required. An exit interview with the Financial Aid Office is required for students receiving financial aid who completely withdrawal from The College.
