Withdrawal from Individual Courses
Withdrawal from one or more individual courses is allowed through Friday of the tenth week of a trimester. Approved withdrawals will result in a grade of “W” being assigned to each course in which the student was enrolled and for which no grade had been issued prior to written notification of course withdrawal. Individual course withdrawal after that date will result in a grade of “WF.” The student must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing. Failure to do so will render the action unofficial, and a failing grade will be recorded in each such course.
Note: Students in good academic standing may withdraw twice from individual courses or totally withdraw from a trimester twice without academic penalty.
Policy on Complete Withdrawal from TCC
A student may withdraw from school up until 14 school days before the end of the term from which the student wishes to withdraw. The official written notification of intent to withdraw must be completed in the Registrar’s Office. The date of withdrawal is used for calculation of any refund due the student and/or unearned financial aid that has to be returned. This may cause the student to owe a balance to the College after withdrawal.
The Registrar’s Office will e-mail affected departments advising them of the student’s withdrawal and the attendant loss of privileges given to active students. The student will be provided with the Complete Withdrawal Form. The withdrawal form must be signed and dated by an authorized representative of each department listed and returned to the Registrar’s Office within five working days of official notification of intent to withdraw. Failure to complete the withdrawal process within five days will result in the refund withdrawal date continuing until the form is completed. However, the unearned financial aid will be returned based upon the previously established date of withdrawal. Complete, approved withdrawals will result in a “W” being assigned to all courses in which the student was enrolled and for which no grade had been issued prior to written notification of complete withdrawal. Failure to follow established withdrawal procedures will result in the assignment of an “F” to all courses in which the student was enrolled. A portion of financial aid may have to be returned to the lender if a student withdraws before 60% of the trimester has passed. It is the student’s responsibility to return funds to the lender. Consult with a financial aid counselor for more information.
Note: Students in good academic standing who withdraw from individual courses or totally withdraw from a trimester a third time will receive failing grade(s) for those courses. The result of this/these failures may impact the student’s academic standing.
Note: Once a student registers, if the student decides that s/he will not be attending for the trimester, the student must provide a withdrawal form to the Registrar. A registered student who has not officially withdrawn is liable for trimester charges.
