Listed below are different ways in which students may terminate their enrollment status.
Voluntary Withdrawal—Students who are considering withdrawal should discuss the decision with their advisers and/or other College staff who are familiar with their situation. When the decision to withdraw has been reached, the withdrawal process should be initiated in the Student Service Center.
Failure to Register—If a currently enrolled student fails to complete Registration for any term and does not submit an appeal to the Provost’s Committee for readmission, it is assumed that the student is withdrawing from College at the end of the current term. Any special circumstances should be brought to the attention of the Director of Academic Services for consideration by the Provost’s Committee.
College Initiated Withdrawal (Suspension)—Students may be administratively withdrawn by the College by the Student Admissions and Academic Standing (SAAS) Committee due to failure to make Satisfactory Academic Progress or for Academic Difficulty. Policies concerning these matters are contained in the College Catalog and Catalog Supplement (published in the #Academics public folder) and in the Academic Program section of the Student Handbook. Students may be administratively withdrawn by the College’s Labor Program Council for failure to function adequately in the Labor Program or for falsification of labor records. Students also may be suspended or expelled through processes of the Community Judicial Code. Infrequently, students may be administratively withdrawn by the College for other problems not under scholarship or general social regulations, such as:
- Failure to function or unexplained extended absence.
- Failure to meet administrative deadlines, including failure to register or confirm registration or to take care of administrative record needs.
- Failure to respond to notices or appointments
- Medical reasons. Most cases of a medical nature are handled through the advice of and consultation with the College physicians, counselors, and/or other consulting specialists concerned with the health and safety of the student and others, the ability to function in all aspects of the College’s programs, the availability of appropriate medical care, and the College's overall responsibility to the whole community.
In all of the above situations, students are informed by letter that they have been suspended, withdrawn, or canceled. This letter informs them of their right to appeal, which also details the specific contact office for the individual appeal option. Appeals of medical judgments are limited to review of procedures and circumstances, evidence of consultation, and College responsibilities, rather than the questioning of a medical diagnosis. When proper withdrawal procedures have been followed, the appropriate room and board refund is credited. |
