After a course begins and until the last day the course is open, students may request to withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal form and providing supporting documentation. Requests to withdraw from a course will not be considered without the required withdrawal form and supporting documentation. All requests will be reviewed by the Professional Education Programs Team and approved by the Director of Professional Education Programs. Withdrawals must be requested while the course is in progress. Requests for a withdrawal after a course is over will not be approved, unless prior approval was precluded by military necessity (See Veteran and Military Students section). Exceptions to the withdrawal policy may be made by the Director of Professional Education Programs if there are extenuating circumstances (i.e. military duty, medical emergencies, natural disasters, etc.).
When a withdraw is processed, the student’s last date of attendance is recorded and reported to any agencies, organizations, etc. from which the student is receiving benefits (if applicable). Tuition refunds for withdrawals are subject to the schedule found in the Refunds section of this document. Students receiving tuition benefits from a third-party agency or corporation are subject to the policies of that entity and are encouraged to check any restrictions/penalties they may incur prior to withdrawing from a class.
Students who withdraw from a course and have been issued electronic course materials will be charged for the cost of the materials.
Please note that non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal from a course and does not nullify financial responsibility.
