Course Drop and Withdrawal Policies University Initiated Withdrawals Students who are enrolled in online course(s) and who do not actively participate in the class during the first week of term will be automatically withdrawn by the COCE office. Students who do not participate during the first week forfeit their rights to be reinstated into the course. Participation within an online course is defined as any observable activity within Blackboard; e.g., forum postings or assignment submissions. Both the faculty member and COCE administration will make a good faith effort to contact students via SNHU email prior to withdrawal. The University reserves the right to withdraw students who fail to meet financial or academic obligations or who, because of misconduct, disrupt the academic process.
Student Initiated Withdrawals Graduate students may withdraw from courses at any time during the first six weeks of the graduate term with the course grade of “W.” Any withdrawals after the 6th Week will only be allowed for conditions beyond the student’s control (e.g., illness documented by a physician’s letter) and must be approved by the instructor. Withdrawals are not permitted in the last week of class. The following policies apply to ALL students taking online or center-based face-to-face and hybrid courses. Students should review carefully as policies differ slightly based on the type of course (i.e.,: online, face-to-face, or hybrid). All withdrawals must be submitted online via the COCE withdrawal form. No paper withdrawal forms or emails will be accepted. In all cases, the effective date of withdrawal is based on receipt of the official, completed form. For the purpose of withdrawals, term weeks start on Mondays and end on Sundays. Merely ceasing to attend classes does not constitute an official withdrawal for academic or financial reasons. Any student who has not officially been withdrawn from a course will automatically be assigned a grade of “F” for said course, and be responsible for full tuition and any accompanying fees.
Tuition Fees & Refunds Students enrolled in online graduate course(s) are subject to the following: • Withdrawals during Week 1 of term: a 20% tuition fee charged to the students account or 80% refund if a full payment is submitted. • Withdrawals during Week 2 of term: a 50% tuition fee charged to the students account or 50% refund if a full payment is submitted.
• Withdrawals after Week 2 of term: a 100% tuition fee charged to the students account or no refund if a full payment is submitted. For the purpose of withdrawals, term weeks start on Mondays and end on Sundays. Students enrolled in hybrid and/or face-to-face graduate course(s) are subject to the following: • Withdrawal after first class meeting: a 20% tuition fee charged to the students account or 80% refund if a full payment is submitted. • Withdrawal after second class meeting: a 50% tuition fee charged to the students account or 50% refund if a full payment is submitted. • Withdrawal after third class meeting: a 100% tuition fee charged to the students account or 0% refund if a full payment is submitted.
