VI.  Withdrawals

A. Permission Required. If a student desires to withdraw from school, they must consult with the Office of the Registrar. Withdrawals from school must be completed three weeks (fifteen class days) prior to the last day of class. If a student leaves school without officially withdrawing, they shall still be considered enrolled in the courses for which the student is registered.

B. Before Two Weeks Past Mid-Semester. If a student withdraws from school, with permission, prior to two weeks past mid- semester (one week during an eight-week summer session), they shall receive no grade in any subject scheduled for that semester.  Shorter sessions should look at the academic dates and deadlines for these specific dates.

C. After Two Weeks Past Mid-Semester. If a student withdraws from school during a 16-week session, with permission, after two weeks past mid- semester, they may receive credit for courses that have actually been completed at the time of withdrawal. In other courses, no grades shall be recorded. Shorter sessions should look at the academic dates and deadlines for these specific dates.

D. Academic Status. If a student withdraws, their academic status will be the same as their status at the beginning of the semester in which they withdrew.

E. Withdrawals due to active military service.  Students who are called to active military service, as defined by Missouri Revised Statute 41.948.1, are entitled to either withdraw from school, or receive incomplete grades in all their classes.  Withdrawals due to military service are allowed at any time during the semester (including during the last three weeks and final exam week).  The student must process a specific form available, from the Office of the Registrar, for this purpose, and provide documentation of their military orders.  Withdrawals due to military service will result in a full refund of all tuition and fees paid by the student, for that semester.  Students who withdraw due to military service may request either to have their academic record for the semester expunged of all classes, or may request that a special indication be made on their academic record to indicate the reason they withdrew from school.
