After the 10% point of the term, a student wishing to withdraw from a class must complete a withdrawal form. A student receiving financial aid must obtain a signature of a financial aid officer and all instructors. Anyone receiving veteran’s benefits must obtain signatures from the instructor(s) and the Veteran’s Affairs Advisor. Any F-1 or M-1 international student must obtain signatures from the instructor(s) and the International Student Advisor. All withdrawal forms must be received by the Bailey Student Services Center, Transfer Advising Center, or Madison Campus Office during the first 75% of the term. (For full semester classes the 75% point occurs at the end of the 12th week. For eight-week classes it occurs at the end of the sixth week. For 4-week classes it occurs at the end of the third week. For Summer Session it occurs in the middle of the seventh week. Deadline dates will be published in the Student Handbook and Events Calendar each year.) In the case of a withdrawal, the student will receive a grade of “W,” which will not influence the quality point ratio, but will appear on the transcript.

Any student who accumulates absences in excess of 15% of the course contact hours (10% for allied health courses) may be dropped from the class and awarded a grade of “U,” unless the student follows the official withdrawal procedure before the withdrawal deadline. The “U” grade is equivalent to an “F” and will affect the quality point ratio.

Exceptions such as serious illness or job transfer requiring withdrawal from all classes after the 75% point of the term will be considered on an individual basis by the Vice President for Student Services. A student who has withdrawn from a class may no longer attend the class.
