Other Provisions

When a student is administratively withdrawn from the College, either involuntarily or voluntarily, the student may receive a withdrawal without academic penalty (no failing grades will be assigned) from the current semester. A notation of “AW” (Administrative Withdrawal) will be assigned to the student’s class(es) and will not be computed in the student’s grade point average or completion rate for Academic Standing, but will be included for Financial Aid Standards of Progress.

When a student is administratively withdrawn from the College, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the student will not be entitled to a refund of tuition and fees. Additionally, if the student received financial assistance for the applicable class or term, those funds may need to be returned to the appropriate program based on the terms and conditions of the financial assistance award(s).

When a student is administratively withdrawn from the College, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the withdrawal will remain in effect until such time as the student formally requests to be reinstated to the College, and presents evidence that the issues that prompted the administrative withdrawal have been treated and will no longer jeopardize the health and safety of the student or the College community.

In considering an application for reinstatement following such withdrawal, the Vice President for Student Affairs or his or her designee may require the student applying for reinstatement to request documentation from his or her appropriate medical or mental health personnel in order to substantiate the student’s readiness to return to active study at the College. Upon reinstatement, as appropriate, the Vice President for Student Affairs or his or her designee may require the student to adhere to specific written conditions (e.g., compliance with medical/mental health treatment recommendations) that must be met for continued attendance at the College.

Any questions regarding the interpretation of this procedure shall rest within the authority of the Vice President for Academic Affairs for final determination.  Any reasonable deviation from these procedures as determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs will not invalidate a decision unless significant prejudice to a student may result.
