Withdrawal from Classes
Policy:
After
the last day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students may
withdraw from a course in which they are registered with permission from the
faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s)
for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. Written request for
withdrawal must be received by the Registrar by the last day of classes prior
to the final examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may
be mailed to the Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259.
Students are to make note of the refund schedule when withdrawing from courses.
The request is forwarded to the faculty member, who makes the final
determination to accept or deny the request. If the request is honored, the
student will receive notification of official withdrawal; if denied, the
notification will indicate why the withdrawal is disallowed. Note: Degree
Completion Division (DCD) students should consult the DCD Student Handbook for
information on DCD withdrawals.
An
official withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade on the student's
transcript. Dropping a
course
without written permission automatically incurs an "F" grade for the
course (see
Refund
Schedule).
