Withdrawing from a Course
Students may withdraw from one or more of their courses according to official deadlines listed on the Academic Calendar on the College website. Courses from which a student has withdrawn will be recorded as “W” or “F,” depending upon posted deadlines. Students who merely stop attending a course and fail to withdraw from that course will incur an F grade and are responsible for tuition. The procedure to withdraw from a course is initiated at the Registrar’s Office. The official date a student withdraws from a course is the basis for determining refunds or tuition adjustments, calculated on a credit-hour basis according to the following schedule:
| During the first week of the semester |
100% |
| After the first week of the semester |
80% |
| After the second week of the semester |
60% |
| After the third week of the semester |
40% |
| After the fourth week of the semester |
25% |
| Withdrawal after five weeks |
No Refund |
Due to a condensed time frame, summer semester refunds follow an abbreviated version of the schedule listed above, with specific withdrawal deadline dates listed on the Academic Calendar on the College website. Prior to withdrawing from a course, students should review policies regarding refunds, full-time status, grading penalty, financial aid and immigration status.
Because medical withdrawals fall under our general withdrawal policy and refund schedule, optional tuition refund insurance is offered to students, and is designed to minimize financial losses if a student is forced to withdraw from all classes due to a serious illness or accident.
