Course Drop and Withdrawal Policies (COCE Only) University Initiated Withdrawals Students who are taking online or hybrid course(s) will be withdrawn for non-participation during the first week of the term. Participation is determined within Blackboard by a discussion board, wiki, or blog posting and/or an assignment submission. Students who do not participate during the first week forfeit their rights to be reinstated into the course. Both the faculty member and the Online administration will make a good faith effort to contact students before withdrawing them by sending an email from their SNHU email address to the student’s SNHU email address. 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 Students may drop a course during the first week of a term, and the dropped course will not appear on the student’s academic transcript. Students may withdraw from courses at
any time during the second through fourth week of the undergraduate term or the second through sixth week of the graduate term with the course grade of “W”. Any withdrawals after the fourth week (undergraduate) or the sixth week (graduate) may only be allowed for significant conditions beyond the student’s control (e.g. serious illness documented by a physician’s letter), and must be approved by the academic advisor. Withdrawals are not permitted, under any circumstance, in the last week of any term. This policy also applies to an undergraduate student taking a 16-week course. All withdrawals must be submitted online via the COCE withdrawal form located at www.snhu.edu/648.asp. 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 Any student who has not officially been withdrawn from a course will automatically be assigned a grade of “F” for said course, and be responsible for full tuition and any accompanying fees. When you withdraw from a course, a course grade of “W” is issued. The course will show up as 3 credits attempted but zero credits earned in your academic records. This could have implications in terms of your Satisfactory Academic Progress or your Scholastic Standing with SNHU. Students who do not maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress will experience an impact on Financial Aid eligibility. Withdrawal from a course will likely impact your eligibility for financial aid for the current term as well as future terms. Be sure to discuss these concerns with your academic advisor.”
Withdrawal Refund Policy Please refer to https://www.snhu.edu/648.asp for the current withdrawal policy.
