Withdrawal from the College

Administrative Withdrawal

The Administration may drop you for administrative reasons for reasonable cause. You may also be withdrawn for those incidents that may be related to violating the student code of conduct and in particular, disrupting the classroom and the educational process. Should you be subject to administrative withdrawal, the College will provide proper notification. You may seek the advice of the Vice President and Chief Academic Officer about this procedure and any due process procedures that will be afforded.

You may be withdrawn for issues related to academic integrity. Instructors with evidence of your plagiarism or other forms of cheating will follow the procedures outlined in A7.13.6.4 of the Board of Regents “Policies and Procedures Manual, Penalties for Dishonest Behavior.” A recommendation by the faculty member to suspend and/or dismiss you from the College for academic dishonesty must be submitted through the department chair to the academic dean. The appropriate academic dean will convene an Academic Ethics Committee prior to suspending/dismissing you to afford you due process.

Instructor Withdrawal

Instructors may withdraw you from class for lack of attendance or other academic reasons, such as not meeting the course pre-requisites.

Appeal of Administrative Withdrawal or Instructor Withdrawal

If you are withdrawn from a class, you may

• Appeal to the instructor by first obtaining an Extenuating Circumstances Schedule Change Form from the Registrar’s Office and presenting it to the instructor.
• If satisfactory arrangements can be made between you and the instructor, readmission to the class may be permitted upon the completion of the Schedule Change Form.
• The completed form must be returned by you to the Registrar’s Office within 10 working days from the date of the drop by the instructor and submitted within three working days from the date of the instructor’s signature.
