2010-2012 EWC Catalog

Overload Policy Registering for overload (more than 18 credit hours in Fall/Spring Semesters or 6 credits in Summer Sessions) requires permission and signatures from faculty advisors, department chairs, and the Academic Vice President and may be granted to students whose overall GPA is 3.0 or better. Requests for overload are made in writing on college forms for the appropriate approvals.

Course Cancellation The EWC administration reserves the right to cancel course sections for which there is insufficient registration or when necessary to meet changing situations. Students are encouraged to participate in advisement and preregistration each semester to enable timely information and planning for class schedules, course offerings, and program and curriculum adjustments.

Transcripts The Student Accounts Office must approve Transcript Release Requests for Academic Transcripts.

Transcript request forms are located in the Office of the Registrar and the college’s website. Official and unofficial transcripts are $5.00 per copy. The college only accepts cash or money orders.

The Registrar’s Office is the ONLY office on campus that can issue an official transcript.

Students must have all financial obligations satisfied with EWC before transcripts are released. Students must get approval from Student Accounts. Florida Statute 240.645(5) requires that no individual borrower who has been determined to be in default in making guaranteed loan repayments shall be furnished with his or her academic transcripts or other academic records. Loan status may be obtained from the United States Department of Education at: 1-800-621-3115.

Withdrawal from Course Students may withdraw from one or more classes, as of the date specified in the current academic calendar, and a grade of “W” will be assigned at that time. Students withdrawing after this period but prior to the last day of classes will be assigned a grade of “WP” or “WF.” All withdrawals require the instructor’s signature. A grade of “WF” will be included in the calculation of the student’s GPA. Students are responsible for completing and filing forms in the Registrar’s Office in a timely way.
