Student Initiated Withdrawal

During the Drop/Add Period: A student may withdraw from a course at Bladen Community College within the drop/add period, as specified by the academic calendar in the College Catalog, and not have a grade entered on his/her academic record, providing the student executes proper withdrawal procedures.

Through the Mid-Term: A student may withdraw from a course at Bladen Community College through the date of mid-term, as specified by the academic calendar in the College Catalog, and receive a grade of “W” on his/her academic record providing the student executes proper withdrawal procedures.

After the Mid-Term: A student may withdraw from a course at Bladen Community College after the end of the mid-term, as specified by the academic calendar in the College Catalog. In such cases, a grade of “WF” will be recorded on the student’s academic record. The grade of “WF” will be calculated as a failing grade in determining the student’s GPA.

If the student presents written documentation of extenuating circumstances which make it impossible for the student to continue in the course after the mid-term, a grade of “W” may be awarded upon agreement of the instructor and the Registrar. An extenuating circumstance is defined to be a condition that became existent after the mid-term which forced the student to withdraw from classes for reasons beyond his/her control. Documentation from a professional person, including dates and the exact condition, will be provided to the Office of Student Services within ten (10) calendar days after the last day of attendance. In such cases a student will receive a grade of “W” on his/her academic record. Unsatisfactory academic performance does not by itself meet the requirement of an extenuating circumstance.
