Administrative Withdrawal Policy
A student may be administratively withdrawn from his/her program for: missing three consecutive program days and no established communication (withdrawing/returning to class) has occurred between student and school personnel within 14 calendar days of the last date of attendance, missing eight or more consecutive days, being absent for over ten percent of the total clock hours of the program, or for violation of school or classroom rules or policies. Satisfactory Academic Progress checks are completed every 4 weeks of instruction. Students who fail to meet the required 90% attendance rate and the required 70% grade point average will be placed on probation for 4 weeks. Students must show progress towards compliance on or before the next progress check (4 weeks). If a student does not come into compliance with grades, attendance and cannot complete the program within 111% of the program length, they will be administratively withdrawn from the program.
Tuition and fees owed at the time of withdrawal must be paid according to the withdrawal/refund policy. Any student who is administratively withdrawn has the right to appeal this decision by meeting with the Adult Career Center Director. If a student chooses to appeal an administrative withdrawal, a written request must be submitted, along with corresponding documentation within 3 days of withdrawal in order for an appeal hearing to be scheduled. No further documentation or excuses will be accepted after the appeal hearing has taken place. The Director of the Adult Career Center has the right to accept or deny any appeal on a case by case basis. Any student whose appeal is accepted would be reinstated.
Student Withdrawal Policy
If a student finds it necessary to withdraw from a course, the student must contact the Adult Career Center. Students who wish to withdraw who receive Title IV funding (Pell Grants and/or Federal Direct Stafford Loans) must meet with the Supervisor.
Refund amounts are calculated based on the official withdrawal date, which is the last day a student attended class. Refund amounts are based on the amount the student has paid toward the class tuition and fees. Books and supply costs are non-refundable. A refund amount may never exceed the amount the student has actually paid toward the tuition of the class. Refunds will be processed within 45 days of the student’s official withdrawal date.
Career Development Programs: A 100% refund is given during the first week of class, after a $100 administrative fee is retained. After the first week of class, refunds are prorated and based on the hours the program was held until the official date of withdrawal. Refunds are calculated based on full tuition fees. No refunds will be issued once 60% of the total clock hours of the program have been offered.
Special Interest/Personal Enrichment Classes: 100% refund is given prior to the first class meeting, after a $25 administrative fee is retained. After the first class meeting, no refunds will be given.
