Withdrawals and Honorable Dismissals

How to Withdraw From Classes

Students finding it necessary to withdraw from college should do so officially in order to maintain good standing and to assure readmission or honorable dismissal. Withdrawal procedures are as follows:

1. Before the published drop deadline for each term, students may withdraw from classes via their MyWS account, by contacting the Student Records Office on the Morristown Campus, or the administration offices at one of the other campuses.
2. Students should check with their advisor, Financial Aid, the Library, Cashiering, and Student Records before dropping courses to be advised of possible consequences of current and future aid and to ensure all financial obligations are met.
   All equipment belonging to the college must be accounted for or paid for and all financial obligations met. If it is impossible for the student to take these steps in person, they should be taken by a parent or person acting as an agent for the student. Up to the date given in the academic calendar, a student may withdraw from the college with a grade of “W”.
3. After the date listed in the academic calendar (last day to drop a course or withdraw from college), a student may, in emergency situations, withdraw with proper approvals by College administration. In cases such as this, the student will be assigned a grade of “W”.

A student who stops attending classes and fails to follow the proper withdrawal procedures, will be carried on the roll until the end of the semester and grades will be reported as “F” or “FA” (F grade due to non-attendance).

Grades, transcript information, drop/adds, withdrawals and other data perceived by the student to be in error must be protested by the student within one year from the date of occurrence. Protests made after this time will not be reviewed unless approval is received from the vice president for Student Services and the vice president for Academic Affairs.
