Withdrawal from college
Any student in good standing is entitled to honorable withdrawal at any time. A student desiring to withdraw from the college (or one who does not plan to return the following semester) must obtain from the Academic Records Office an application for withdrawal. After securing the appropriate signatures, the student must have the record cleared by the Student Financial Services Office. The form must be properly completed and filed with the Academic Records Office before the student leaves campus. Withdrawal from college without accomplishing the above procedure will result in forfeiture of the right to honorable dismissal. No refunds (if applicable) will be made by the student financial services office until the academic records office certifies that the withdrawal procedure has been properly completed.
A student called away during the semester by an emergency (including military duty) and who finds it impossible to resume, must notify the academic records office of withdrawal immediately. Unless this notice is filed within three weeks, the student may forfeit the right to honorable dismissal and receive a grade of F in each course.
A student who withdraws or terminates must leave the ID card with the student financial services office at the signing of the withdrawal or termination notice. If the ID card has been lost or misplaced, a statement must be signed to that effect.
