After the last day for class changes has pas= sed (see College calendar), students may withdraw from a course in which they a= re registered with permission from the faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the reason(s) for the withdrawal must be filed wi= th 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 fac= ulty member, who makes the final determination to accept or deny the request.

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 cour= se (see Refund Schedule).
