Implications of Withdrawal
If a student stops attending all courses for which the student is
registered, the student is considered to have withdrawn from the College.
Withdrawal from the College impacts the student’s financial aid eligibility
during the withdrawn semester and possibly for future semesters and years.
See more information on Withdrawal from the College in the Academic
Progress section of this catalog.
Date of Withdrawal.
Withdrawal date is determined by the Provost, and
the withdrawal process begins with the Provost’s Office.
Official Withdrawal.
An official withdrawal occurs when a student
notifies the College of his or her intention to cease attendance.
Unofficial Withdrawal.
An unofficial withdrawal occurs when a student
ceases attendance in all registered courses and does not notify the College
that he or she has ceased attendance.
A student who does not successfully complete any of his or her
registered courses in a given term may be determined to be an
unofficial withdrawal.
A student who attends at least one class session, ceases attending
all courses, and does not officially withdraw from the College, is
considered to have unofficially withdrawn and the student’s awards
are subject to proration, regardless of when the College determines
that the student has unofficially withdrawn.
