Withdrawal from the College

(Policy 2.14)

Any student who desires to withdraw from Blue Mountain College should complete a withdrawal form obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Before the withdrawal can be processed, the student must secure a signature of clearance from a staff member in the Business Office, the Office of Financial Aid, and, if a resident student, the Office of Student Services. Should extenuating circumstances prevent the student who is withdrawing from returning to campus, a telephone withdrawal to the Office of the Registrar may be accepted provided clearance can be secured from the Business Office, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Office of Student Services. A student must return any College properties on loan to the student such as library books, reference materials, chorale folders, etc.

Grades Associated with Withdrawal. The College establishes and publishes withdrawal dates on each academic calendar for semesters and terms. Students may not withdraw beyond the published dates. Grades of W, WP or WF are determined by the date of withdrawal as published on the current academic calendar. Dropping classes and/or withdrawing from all classes may have an immediate and/or future effect on financial aid eligibility.

If a student drops out of a course without completing the official withdrawal form in the Office of the Registrar, a grade of F is recorded for each course at the end of the semester on the student’s permanent record.

Tuition Refund at Withdrawal. The date that a student withdraws in writing in the Office of the Registrar is the date used for calculating any tuition refund. The institutional refund policy is distributed to students during registration and is included in the “Finances” section of this Undergraduate Catalog.
