grade will be "W"; thereafter, the<br />

completed by the student, signed by the<br />

Upon withdrawal a student has the right to<br />
ask permission of the instructor to audit the<br />

WITHDRAWAL FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE<br />
COLLEGE<br />
A student may withdraw from the College by<br />
obtaining a withdrawal form from the Dean<br />
of Student Affairs and obtaining all<br />
necessary signatures. Failure to file a withdrawal<br />
form with the Dean will result in the<br />
automatic recording of F grades in all<br />
courses being taken by the student. If a<br />
student is under 18 years of age, written<br />
parental consent must be received.<br />

completion and return of the withdrawal<br />

PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDS<br />
The policy and the procedures concerning<br />
the privacy of student records maintained by<br />
New Hampshire College are in large<br />
measure governed by the Federal Family<br />
Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as<br />
amended Except in instances where a<br />
student has given consent to make public<br />
information about himself/herself, all<br />
personally identifiable information in a<br />
student record is considered confidential.<br />
Except in the few instances stated in the<br />
college's policy, no one will have access to a<br />
student's record without the written consent<br />
of tne student concerned. One exception<br />
provides that parents have a right to view<br />
and have copies of materials in their child's<br />
education record without their child's<br />
consent, providing the child is dependent<br />
upon the parents for federal income tax<br />
purposes.<br />

The grade point average (GPA) is determined<br />
by dividing the sum of the quality<br />
points (QP) by the sum of the credit hours<br />
(Cr). An example of a student's grades and<br />
grade point average is as follows:<br />
Accounting 1<br />
3 Credits X A (4) = 12 QP<br />
English 10<br />
3 Credits X B (3) = 9 QP<br />
MA 10<br />
3 Credits XC (2) = 6 QP<br />
MIS 20<br />
3 Credits X D (1) = 3 QP<br />
History 9<br />
3 Credits X F (0) = 0 QP<br />
15 Credits 30 QP<br />
30 QP DIVIDED BY 15 CR = 2<br />
GRADE POINT AVERAGE IS 2.00
