Unofficial College Withdrawals
The college will determine if a student who fails to follow the official withdrawal procedure has withdrawn from the institution.
A student who does not receive an earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F will be evaluated by the Registrar鈥檚 office at the end of each semester. Students in this category may receive an I 鈥 Incomplete as a result of not completing some of their coursework in a class. Students who do not complete coursework within the designated timeframe will receive a WF unless otherwise indicated by the faculty member on the Incomplete Grade Form. A WF grade indicates the student did not officially withdraw from the class, did not complete the coursework, and failed the class. Students who did not officially withdraw from the course but who, in the opinion of the instructor, failed to provide sufficient evidence for evaluation of academic performance are awarded a grade of 鈥淲F.鈥 A student whose transcript reflects a combination of all W and/or WF grades for a semester will be reviewed by the financial aid office to determine if they have totally withdrawn from the college. Students determined to have fully withdrawn will be processed as a total withdrawal effective as of either the midpoint of the semester or the last date of an academically related activity in which the student participated, as documented by a school official or faculty member.
A 鈥淲F鈥 grade will be reported on a student鈥檚 transcript. A grade of WF is included in the G.P.A. calculation, counts toward a student's pace completion and will count as credits attempted but not earned. A WF grade is used to determine the difference between a student who completed the coursework and earned an F grade and students who did not complete the coursework.
