Students wishing to withdraw from all classes must fill out withdrawal petitions in the Admissions and Records Office. Students must clear all financial obligations and return all books, laboratory equipment, and other materials. Four copies of the withdrawal form signed by the division chair, the Business Office, Financial Aid, and the Vice President for Student Services are presented to the Admissions and Records Office by the student. For refund purposes the effective withdrawal date is the date the "Withdrawal Petition" is received in the Admissions and Records Office with all appropriate signatures.

The Business Office will return such fees as are refundable according to the schedule shown under the "Fees" section of this catalog. After the penalty-free period, the instructor may assign a grade of "F" for courses at the time of withdrawal.

A student may not withdraw after the published deadline. A student who leaves without withdrawing officially will receive a grade of "F" in all courses, will forfeit all refundable fees, and is not relieved of outstanding financial debts.
