There may be circumstances beyond a student's control that prevent them from completing their coursework for a term. Students should consult with their advisor prior to withdrawing or beginning the petition process. Petitions may also be submitted for variance of other college policies.

 


Petitions

If any of the following situations apply to you, you may be eligible for a petition.

  1. Late Drop from the Current Term - If you have been unable to participate in a course (i.e. never logged on to an online class or attended a face to face class) due to extreme extenuating circumstances, and you wish to drop the course (course will not appear on transcript, tuition and fees refunded).
  2. Late Withdrawal from the Current Term - If it is past the withdrawal deadline but before the close of the term, you may request a late withdrawal due to extreme extenuating circumstances ('W' grade assigned on transcript, no refund of tuition or fees).
  3. Financial Relief - If there is a student account balance on your account that is the result of an official or unofficial withdrawal due to extreme extenuating circumstances, you may request institutional funds to clear that balance.
