WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Any student who wishes to withdraw from the College must complete a withdrawal form that is available from the Registrar‘s Office. When a student is considering withdrawal, the College will provide any necessary counseling or assistance to the student prior to the withdrawal. The withdrawal is considered as official only after the student has been counseled by and received signatures from each of the following individuals: Retention Departmental Chair, Dean of Student Affairs, Director of Financial Aid, Chief Fiscal Officer, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and the Registrar. The withdrawal form must be kept in the Registrar‘s Office. A student who withdraws from the College and does not follow the withdrawal procedures as outlined is not eligible for a refund.

The following schedule will be adhered to when applying credit(s) to the student‘s account:

Credit
Withdrawal before the 1st day of classes........ 100%
