Students who wish to withdraw from a course after the end of the Add/Drop period but before the deadline for a student-initiated withdrawal, must complete a Course Withdrawal Form. In no case should a student rely on a verbal statement as evidence of withdrawal. Official withdrawal requires the student's signature in consultation with an academic advisor and the Student Financial Services Office. The completed Course Withdrawal Form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office with all required signatures prior to the deadline specified in the College's academic calendar. Non-attendance does not constitute official withdrawal. A "W" grade will be assigned for the withdrawn courses. Students are not permitted to withdraw after the deadline for student-initiated withdraw as communicated by the academic calendar unless there is a documentable emergency or medical situation preventing the completion of the course.
