Withdrawing from a Course
Students may withdraw from one or more of their courses according to official deadlines posted in the College semester course brochure and 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 Courses from which a student has withdrawn will be recorded as “W” or “F,” depending upon posted deadlines.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 available on the College website, as well as in the semester course brochure. Prior to withdrawing from a course, students should review policies regarding refunds, full-time status, grading penalty, financial aid and immigration status.
Optional tuition insurance is available to minimize financial losses if a student is forced to withdraw from all courses during a semester because of a serious illness or accident. The Tuition Refund Plan, administered by A.W.G. Dewar, provides reimbursement of 75% of tuition and fees in the case of complete withdrawal because of personal illness, psychological condition or accident.
