Withdrawal from a Class & from the University

A student who must resign from the University at any time other than at the close of a semester is required to confer with the Office of the Registrar in person or by written notification. If withdrawal occurs within the first three weeks of classes, a student is allowed to resign without grade penalty. If withdrawal occurs after the fifteenth class day, the student receives a grade of "WP" or "WF" in each course, depending on whether he/she is passing or failing at the time of resignation. No student, however, is allowed to withdraw within the last ten class days of the semester except in an extreme medical emergency or similar situation (A class day is defined as a weekday for both online and on campus students.)  A student who leaves school during a semester without following the specified procedures for resignation receives a grade of "F" in each course for which the he/she is registered.

The University reserves the right to discontinue the enrollment of any student at any time when University officials judge that such action will serve the best interest of the institution.

For Financial Policy refer to the Student Affairs sections entitled "Refunds ."

Recipients of Title IV Federal Financial Aid are required to have their funds prorated based on the number of days of enrollment, effective through 60% of the semester.    Withdrawing from the institution may affect a student's Satisfactory Academic Progress as determined by the Financial Aid Office under federal regulations.  Students should consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from the University.  Students who fail to pass a single class during an award period are considered an unofficial withdrawal and federal funds may need to be returned as a result.  All Title IV repayments are charged to the student account and are the responsibility of the student.
