College Withdrawal A student must submit written notification of intention to permanently withdraw from the College. Forms, which are available in the Registrar's Office, must be completed and returned to the Registrar's Office. Failure to provide written notice on an official form means you will be liable for full tuition and fees originally incurred (see Liability Policy). A student will receive "W's" if the Withdrawal Form is submitted to the Registrar's Office by the "Last Day/Evening to Withdraw" (see Academic Calendar). Any student who officially withdraws from the College must reapply through the Admissions Office and is subject to all program requirements and policies in effect at the time of readmission. Course Syllabi At the beginning of every course, the instructor distributes a written course syllabus to all students taking the course. The course syllabus describes the objectives and content for the course and the method by which students' work will be evaluated for grades. Students should keep all course syllabi and refer to them throughout the semester. The Evaluation of Students' Work An evaluation system is required for each course. Examinations, papers and projects are ordinarily part of the evaluation system, but alternative methods of overall evaluation may be employed. At the first class period of the semester or module, the instructor will inform students through the course syllabus of the type of evaluation system that will be used for that course throughout the semester.
