Student Withdrawal
Students can officially withdraw from classes before 60% of the class has been completed; a Withdraw (W) grade will be posted. After the 60% date of the class, no withdrawals are allowed; students will get the grade earned.
If a student wishes to appeal the grade earned after the 60% date of class, he/she must provide documentation of extenuating circumstances.
If students withdraw during the refund period, a refund adjustment may be posted to their account. If students receive financial aid, veteran’s funding or agency assistance, it is their responsibility to notify the appropriate office to verify potential repayment of funds.
Online students may request withdrawal via email to his/her instructor.
