WITHDRAWAL/REFUND: Withdrawal (W) is a terminal status referring to voluntary student withdrawal of the course up to the end of the week marking the completion of 75% of the course. To be considered officially withdrawn from a course, the student must file a Change of Enrollment form with the Registrar’s office. After 75% of the term has elapsed, a student may withdraw (with the same result as indicated above) only if documented extenuating circumstances are submitted to and approved by the Vice-Chancellor of Academic Affairs. The FW grade is assigned to a student who fails to reach course objectives due to the fact that he or she stopped attending the class. A grade of FW counts as a class attempt (counts toward the number of times a student may attempt a course), is treated in the same manner as an F for the purposes of GPA calculation, and may impact financial aid.
