STUDY ABROAD<br />
Junior or first-semester senior students, with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0, have the opportunity to spend a<br />
semester (Fall or Winter) or a full year of study at an accredited institution abroad.<br />
To Register: Students must meet with the Director of International Student Services and their department chair NO<br />
LATER THAN MARCH 1ST FOR FALL STUDY ABROAD OR OCTOBER 1ST FOR WINTER STUDY ABROAD.<br />
Students must complete the Study Abroad Approval Form, available from the Director of International Student Services,<br />
obtain the required signatures on all <strong>for</strong>ms and submit the <strong>for</strong>ms to the Academic Advising and Registration Office, along<br />
with the Registration Form. The office of International Student Services is located on the third floor of the<br />
Administration Building, on the corner of John R and Ferry Streets.<br />
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES (DROP/ADD PERIOD)<br />
If you stop attending class in any registered courses without officially withdrawing, it will negatively affect your grade,<br />
resulting in failure. All requests to drop a class must be initiated and completed by the student. Students are not<br />
considered to have dropped a class unless they officially withdraw from the class by using the blue Drop/Add Form,<br />
obtaining a signature from a staff advisor in the Academic Advising and Registration Office (AARO), and ensuring the<br />
drop has been processed by an advisor or AARO personnel by receiving a registration confirmation as receipt of drop.<br />
Students who do not officially withdraw from their class(es) will be graded according to class requirements and <strong>College</strong><br />
policy and will be responsible <strong>for</strong> full payment of tuition and fees (see the “Withdrawals and Refunds” heading in the<br />
Financial In<strong>for</strong>mation section of this Course Schedule <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation on tuition refunds <strong>for</strong> dropped classes).<br />
Students requesting a COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL of all classes from the college must initiate the process with the<br />
Academic Advising and Registration Office (AARO). Students must complete the Complete Withdrawal Form and a<br />
Drop/Add Form, then meet with a staff advisor in the AARO <strong>for</strong> an exit interview. The student will then be required to<br />
meet with a Financial Aid Counselor so that they can advise of any financial aid situations. The complete withdrawal will<br />
be finalized in the Academic Advising and Registration Office where the Drop/Add Form and Complete Withdrawal<br />
Form are processed.<br />
GRADING FOR DROPPED CLASSES<br />
Classes dropped during the first 7 business days of the semester (see Academic Calendar <strong>for</strong> specific dates) will not<br />
appear on a student’s permanent record.<br />
Classes dropped during the 8th to the 20th business days of the semester (see Academic Calendar <strong>for</strong> specific dates)<br />
will appear with a grade of W and will not affect academic standing. (Financial Aid will be finalized at this point.)<br />
Classes dropped during the 5th through the 12th week of the semester (see Academic Calendar <strong>for</strong> specific dates) will<br />
appear with a grade of WN.<br />
Because the WN grade negatively affects a student’s Course Completion Rate, he or she should check the Satisfactory<br />
Academic Progress requirements prior to dropping courses after the end of the 4th week of classes.<br />
No Withdrawals/Drops Will Be Accepted After the End of the 12th Week of Classes (see Academic<br />
Calendar <strong>for</strong> specific date).<br />
ENROLLMENT STATUS AND FINANCIAL AID<br />
During the drop/add period, all financial aid will be prorated according to the student’s enrollment status. A STUDENT’S<br />
FINAL FINANCIAL AID AWARD WILL BE BASED ON HIS OR HER ENROLLMENT STATUS AT THE END OF<br />
THE 20TH BUSINESS DAY OF THE SEMESTER. All students receiving federal financial aid should read the federal<br />
refund policies (Return of Title IV Funds) described in the Financial Aid section of this course schedule book.<br />
