COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL (DROP ALL COURSES)
A student may withdraw from all courses through the
eighth week of the quarter, or the equivalent proportion
for shorter courses or courses with irregular start and end
dates. It is the student’s responsibility to drop all classes.
Further information is available in the Class Schedule.
Official withdrawals occurring after the tenth instructional
day of the quarter are posted with a W on the student’s
transcript. A grade of W does not count in GPA calculations.
Not attending a class does not withdraw a student or
create refund eligibility.
After the eighth week, an unofficial withdrawal from
the college will result in each instructor assigning the
appropriate grade. Depending on the start date and
length of the class, an early withdrawal during the first
two weeks will not be recorded on the transcript.
ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS
Students may be administratively withdrawn from an
individual class or all classes in a particular quarter for the
following reasons. In all cases, tuition refunds will follow
LWIT’s posted refund policy.
Failure to meet prerequisite requirements: Many
classes require completion of prerequisite coursework
to ensure students are prepared for course content and
rigor. Students must meet the requirements of a class
either by grade, transfer coursework, placement score, or
faculty permission.
Conduct sanctions: When a student is found in violation
of one or more of the student conduct codes published in
the student handbook, administrative withdrawal may be
selected as an appropriate sanction.
Non-attendance: In order to maximize enrollment
opportunities for all students, instructors may request the
Enrollment Services office to administratively withdraw
students who (1) Do not attend the first and/or any
subsequent class meetings AND (2) Do not notify the
instructor in advance of the absence.
STUDENT RECORDS
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA), Lake Washington Institute of
Technology enforces guidelines concerning information
about the student’s educational record, and governs the
conditions of disclosure. Except as otherwise indicated,
the college will not provide information contained in
student records unless the expressed written consent of
the student has been given. Students may declare their
entire record confidential, in which case no information
can be released, and the college will not normally
acknowledge the student’s presence at the college.
Exceptions may be made if knowledge of the information
is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student
or other individuals. Contact Enrollment Services or the
Class Schedule for further information.
In compliance with state law, the college does not use the
social security number as a student ID number, though it is
required and collected for other purposes authorized by law.
