The College requires the student notify the College of his or her intent. Notification may be made in person, in writing, by phone, or via e-mail. Notification should identify the student’s intended last date of class attendance, which will be the official exit date. Notification must be made to the appropriate Academic Advisor, Program Director, or Academic Dean. If a student withdraws from the program without completing that enrollment term, the exit date will be the date the notification is received from the student. If a student drops all courses during the add/drop period, the official exit date is the last day of the previous enrollment period.
A student may decide to exit the College prior to the end of an enrollment period and remain enrolled through the end of that session/semester/term. In this situation, the student will identify the last day of the enrollment period (session/semester/term) as the official exit date. Students may meet with the appropriate Academic Advisor or Program Director to complete required paperwork and related responsibilities before the last day of the enrollment period. If necessary, a follow-up appointment may be scheduled for the end of the session or semester in order to complete the exit process.
If a student is dismissed from the College due to academic performance issues, the official exit date will be the last day of the enrollment period.
If a student is dismissed from the College due to academic or non-academic misconduct the exit date will be determined by the appropriate Academic Advisor, Academic Dean and/or Program Director.
A student who chooses to electively withdraw within the semester must do so prior to the deadline of the withdrawal period, according to the registration timeline. Withdrawing during the withdrawal period results in courses being graded with a “W”, which does not carry a GPA value. Withdrawing after the withdrawal date, but prior to the end of the semester, will result in the student earning a failing grade (“F”) for any course not already completed and graded. Additionally, the student will be classified as dismissed from the college.
If a student fails to make payment or initiate satisfactory payment arrangements by the tuition due date, the student may be institutionally withdrawn. If a student has not made adequate payment arrangements, he or she will not be allowed to attend any subsequent Bellin College classes and a hold will be placed on all College records. The official exit date will be the last day of the enrollment period for which the charges were incurred.
If a student did not begin the official exit process or provide notification of his or her intent to exit (ceased attendance), the official exit date will be the date the College became aware the student’s ceased attendance.
The official exit date must be a College business day. If notification is received on a non-business day, the official exit date will be the first business day after notification.
Depending on the circumstances, re-entry students may be required to remediate theory, lab and/or practicum courses as designated by a Personal Assessment for Student Success (PASS) Plan. A PASS plan is designed and implemented to help ensure student success with both course work and certification after re-entry.
