2020-2021 Academic Catalog

Administrative Removal from Class:

A student is duly enrolled in a class when he/she has paid all tuition and registration fees. A student may withdraw from a class by adhering to “official withdrawal procedures”. However, in some circumstances students will be removed/withdrawn from class by the instructor. They are as follows:

  1. He or she fails to attend class or make contact prior to the 10 percent point of the course (census date). In this case, the instructor may be reasonably assured that the student does not intend to pursue the learning activities of the course. This is considered “never attended”; a grade of “NA” will be placed on the student’s academic record. Completion of the orientation/syllabus quiz or icebreaker assignment within the LMS represents the first documented class day for distance courses.
  2. He or she ceases attending class or submitting assignments. Students who do not attend at least 80 percent of the scheduled class sessions will be dropped from the class roster with a grade of “W” or “WF” depending on the official withdrawal date. (See “Class Attendance” section for the definition of attendance verification for distance delivery venues).
  3. Students who do not attend class for two consecutive weeks will be dropped from the class roster with a grade of “W” or “WF” depending on the official withdrawal date. This rule applies to all classes regardless of course contact hours or course delivery method.

NOTE: An administrative drop shall be submitted to the registrar’s office within 72 hours of the student achieving withdrawal/removal status.
