W: Withdrawal

A W indicates official withdrawal from a course after the refund period has ended. Courses officially dropped during the refund period do not appear on the student’s transcript.

  • Students should first discuss the decision to withdraw with their instructors who may be able to assist in making alternative arrangements to complete the course.
  • Students may withdraw according to the deadlines published in the Schedule of Classes (generally from the beginning of the fourth week through the end of the ninth week of classes). These deadlines are adjusted for courses shorter than 15 weeks.
  • Withdrawals must be filed officially as described in the schedule of classes and will appear as a W on the student’s transcript. Failure to officially withdraw can result in a failing grade.

The College reserves the right to withdraw students who fail to meet immunization requirements or fail to pay tuition and fees.
