the course. The Office of Educational Support will then attempt to contact the student and help to develop, with input from the student and faculty member, a plan for success going forward. If, after a week from the time of the instructor's initial contact of the Office of Educational Support, the Office is not successful in contacting the student, then the administrative withdrawal process will move forward. The period for administrative withdrawal will be Week Three through Week Eight. An administrative withdrawal will be marked as AW on a student's transcript. Withdrawal from a Course - On the 13th day of classes, the Office of the Registrar will distribute class rosters to the faculty. Instructors will then verify the names of students who have attended at least one class meeting. Students who have never attended a class meeting will be administratively withdrawn and have all applicable charges reversed. Students who have attended at least one class meeting but have stopped attending are subject to the Class Attendance Policy. This policy does not apply to the summer session.

If a student withdraws from a course before the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, a grade of W will appear on the student's transcript. If a student withdraws from a course before two-thirds of the instructional days have elapsed during a summer session or short course, a grade of W will appear on the student's transcript.

A student who fails to follow proper University withdrawal procedures will receive a grade of F in that course.

Students may appeal for retroactive withdrawal from a course under specified circumstances (see Appeal Procedures at the end of this chapter.)

Withdrawal from the University - A student who has selected courses but has decided not to complete registration (I.e., pay or arrange to pay tuition and fees) should notify the Office of the Registrar in writing prior to the end of late registration of his/her intention not to enroll. In order to withdraw from the University after completion of registration (i.e., dropping all courses for a given semester/session), a student must do the following:

Obtain the necessary form from the Office of the Registrar. Complete the form and obtain the necessary signatures. Return the completed form to the Office of the Registrar.

Failure to withdraw will obligate the student to pay all tuition, fees, and other charges assessed, and will result in failing grades for that term (summer session/semester).

If a student withdraws from the University before the end of the tenth full week of classes during a semester, a grade of W will appear on the student's transcript for all courses pursued that semester.
