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. The Registrar must receive written request for withdrawal 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.
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).
