Exit from the College is defined as withdrawing from all courses for the current enrollment period (term/semester). Withdrawals within the semester must be completed within the withdrawal dates according to the registration timeline. Students may electively withdraw or may be dismissed by the College. Students exiting from the College for any reason, elective or due to College policy, must meet with the Academic Advisor or, if a Graduate/Doctoral student, the appropriate Program Director to complete the exit process.
The Academic Advisor or Program Director will assist the student with the exit process.
- If a student notifies the College that she/he will be withdrawing at the end of an enrollment period (term/semester), it is permissible for them to complete the Exit Form (Undergraduate or Graduate) on or before the last day of the enrollment term. The student may meet with the designated College personnel before the last day of the enrollment period in anticipation of the exit.
- If the student completes the Exit Form (Undergraduate or Graduate) prior to the end of the enrollment term but is electing to finish specific courses, an Add/Drop Form must be completed for each course the student is exiting. This Add/Drop Form must be completed at the time the student notifies the College of plans to exit from specific courses and submitted to the Registrar.
- If a student is exiting from the College before the end of the enrollment period (term/semester) an Exit Form (Undergraduate or Graduate) must be completed.
- If a student does not complete the Exit Form (Undergraduate or Graduate) or fulfill the exit requirements, the student will be automatically withdrawn, and a Hold will be placed on their College records until obligations are resolved. A Hold on the record means the student will be denied access to their record/information pending completion of any financial obligations (tuition, fees). The Hold will commence the day of the official exit date.
- By definition, a withdrawal from the College is an elective process, chosen by the student. A dismissal from the College is a decision made by the College to discontinue a student's continued enrollment, based on various factors, academic or non-academic. A student must elect to withdraw from courses within the withdrawal period in a semester, per the registration timeline. Withdrawing after the withdrawal date, but prior to the end of the semester, will result in the student earning a failing grade (âFâ) for any course not already completed and graded. Additionally, the student will be classified as dismissed from the college.
- A student may also choose to the exit the college on a temporary basis by requesting a Deferred Progression. This process allows for exiting the college for up to one year without the need to complete the reapplication process. Students should consult the Academic Advisor or Program Director if interested in this option.
Students are advised to check the academic and/or registration calendar to identify the final dates to withdraw from courses and understand the ramifications that withdrawal has on applicable grades/transcripts/tuition and any applicable refunds.
