Withdrawal from Class

An adjunct instructor is not authorized to withdraw a student from class. The student must contact the Office of the Registrar or the Campus Dean in order to make a change in his or her class schedule. Failure to fill out the proper form for withdrawal will lead to an F in the class. During the first week of an eleven-week term, the student may withdraw from a class and add another one. The class from which he withdraws will not appear on the student’s permanent record. There is a charge of $10.00 for this procedure. During the second through the seventh week of an eleven-week term, a student who contacts the Office of Academic Services may withdraw from a class and receive a non-punitive grade of “W”. A student withdrawing from all classes must clear his account with the Business Office before he can withdraw officially. After the seventh week, a student withdrawing from class will receive a “WP” to indicate withdrawal passing or “WF” to indicate withdrawal failing. There is no charge for withdrawing from school. The time period involved for shorter terms may be prorated by the eleven-week term. Failure to follow the withdrawal procedure will result in an automatic “F” in the course.

Although an adjunct faculty member is not responsible for withdrawing the student, he or she is responsible for notifying the Division Chair or Campus Dean if a student is absent more than will allow the student to complete the course satisfactorily. The Veterans Administration requires that they be notified when a student quits attending class even though he has not withdrawn officially. Please keep accurate attendance records.
