perform academically. The bankruptcy policy is subject to the following guidelines:
1. Academic bankruptcy may be declared for only one semester.
2. Two semesters must have passed since the semester the student requests to declare
bankruptcy. The student must have maintained a 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale
and earns at least 18 semester credit hours during the previous two semesters.
3. The student must be currently enrolled at Concordia College.
4. All courses taken during the semester in question will be included in the bankruptcy
action. This includes all courses successfully completed by the student during that
period.
5. The student’s academic record will be shown on the Final transcript but grade point
averages will indicate that no credit is to be given for that period. The bankruptcy
action will be indicated on the transcript.
Class Size
Concordia reserves the right to withdraw from its schedule any course for which fewer than
eight students have enrolled. However, some courses which are necessary to complete
requirements for students' intended majors may be offered with fewer than eight students if
approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Withdrawal from a Course
Students are not considered officially withdrawn from a single course or their entire
registration until they have completed an Add/Drop Form and submitted it to the Registrar's
office, or have written a letter to that office requesting that they be withdrawn. Failure to
attend class does not constitute a formal drop or withdrawal either academically or financially.
The date the Add/Drop Form or the letter is received in the Registrar's office is regarded as the
official date of withdrawal.
A student may withdraw without penalty from a course up to two weeks after midterm. The
grade of "W" will be recorded when the student withdraws officially during that period. A
student who withdraws from a course after that period while passing the course will be

Add/Drop Form and indicate the grade of "WP." A grade of "W" or "WP" does not enter into the
calculation of the grade point average.
A student who withdraws from a course after the second week following midterm while failing
a course is assigned a grade of "WF" (Withdraw Failing) by the instructor. The instructor must
