| WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES |
| A student intending to transfer or
withdraw from Bladen Community College should report his/her intentions
to a counselor and his/her faculty advisor. This will protect the student's
academic record, right to re-enroll, and right to transfer to another college.
Procedures for withdrawal are as follows:
1. Obtain a withdrawal form from the
Office of Student Services.
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, and receive a grade of WF providing the student executes proper withdrawal procedures. 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 Vice President of Student Services. 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 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. Administrative Removal from Class: A student who has not attended class by the published drop/add date will be dropped from that course with no grade entered on his/her academic record. A student who after entering class fails to report to class for three consecutive weeks and who has not initiated withdrawal procedures will be dropped from the class roll with a grade of F. A student must attend 80% of the scheduled contact hours for a course to receive credit for the course. Therefore, a student whose absences (combined with classes held before the student entered the class, if any) constitute more than 20% of all the contact hours scheduled for the course and who has not initiated withdrawal procedures will be dropped with a grade of F. Effect of Withdrawal on Financial Aid: Withdrawal from a class or from classes may adversely affect the student's continued eligibility to receive financial aid. Veterans withdrawing from a course
with a grade of W will incur an overpayment from the Veterans Administration
and will be held liable for repayments.
