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).
