Office.
Students who are passing at the time of withdrawal may receive a grade of
“WP.” Students who are failing at the time of withdrawal may receive a
grade of “FW.” Students who stop attending class without officially
withdrawing from the course may receive a failing grade in the course.
Change of Major, Re-entry, and Readmission
Change of Major
Students are never “locked in” a program of study for longer than one
semester. Any time a student considers making a change, the student should
immediately meet with a counselor, instructor, or advisor to discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of the proposed change. Students should
explore all program offerings at SCC, and Career Counseling located in Blue
Hall is prepared to help in that exploration.
If the advisor feels that a student is not making satisfactory progress or has
reason to doubt the validity of the program placement of the student, the
advisor may refer the student to the Student Success Center, located in Stone
Hall, for a change of major.
If a student wishes to change from one instructional program to another, the
student must complete a Change of Major form. This form is available in the
Student Success Center in Stone Hall. Students may change their major at
any time during the academic year, but the students who are on financial aid
should seek counsel from a Financial Aid official in Stone Hall.
Re-entry into a Program
When a student wishes to be considered for re-entry into a program that has
special placement requirements or enrollment limitations, these procedures
will be followed:
1. The student should check with the Admissions Office to see if
his/her application is current. If necessary, a new advisor will be
assigned at that time.
2. The student should schedule an appointment with the assigned
advisor to discuss re-entry into the desired program.
3. The advisor may recommend to the appropriate department
chairperson that the student be permitted to re-enter the program.
Such recommendation should be based upon the student’s
demonstration that remedial action has been taken that would
prevent a repeat of earlier failure to succeed in the program.
