Revision Number: 3 
Revision Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2015 
Reference: Educational Programs

Policy:
A student may withdraw from a class or from the College.

Procedure:

Withdrawal from a Class:

1. During the registration period, a student who wishes to withdraw from a class may complete the process through registration in RiverGuide or seek the assistance of an advisor. After the last day of registration, a student should complete the Single Course Withdrawal request in their Student Dashboard through RiverGuide. This will notify the student’s instructor of the request to withdraw and the instructor will contact the student and, if necessary, process the withdrawal in the gradebook.
2. No grade will be given if a student withdraws from a class during the drop/add period. After the drop/add period, a student may withdraw with a grade of “W” at any time prior to the last scheduled day of class. Students taking online classes should refer to the eLearning calendar for withdrawal deadlines.

Withdrawal from the College:

1. A student who wishes to withdraw from all classes taken at the College should complete the request in their Student Dashboard through RiverGuide. As part of the withdrawal request, the student will be provided with all necessary information about withdrawing and attempts will be made to contact the student to confirm the withdrawal. All offices involved with the withdrawal process will be notified of the withdrawal to allow for swift processing. Once all processing is complete, the Business Services Office will be notified and the final bill and/or refund will be calculated.
