withdrawals
policies attendance and absences Go to class. It’s not just important for your success; it’s a university policy! You are permitted to miss only four class sessions in each course. If you miss more than four sessions, you will be unable to pass the class. Use your absences wisely. There are no excused absences. Classes missed due to late registration or schedule changes are included in the overall absences allowed.
academically speaking Within the university’s academic policies, you’ll read full definitions and descriptions of policies that cover academic standing, attendance, course loads, dropping and adding courses, the grading system, gradepoint average requirements and withdrawals. The academic integrity policy means that under all circumstances, you are expected to be honest when dealing with faculty members, administrative staff and your fellow students. You must submit work that is your own and reflects your level of accomplishment. The policy also includes information on what happens when academic dishonesty is suspected and how decisions may be appealed.

After the end of the drop/add period and through the last day of the quarter, students may officially withdraw from a class. Students receive no credit for the class and are given a grade of W for the course. Students demonstrate their intent to withdraw from a class by completing the electronic withdrawal form available in MySCAD. The withdrawal form is processed automatically and is effective immediately upon receipt of the request by the registrar’s office. Please note that withdrawal from one or more classes may alter financial aid status or eligibility. A student will be unofficially withdrawn from a course after incurring absences for 20 percent of the term (usually five absences) in a class when he or she does not provide an official notification of withdrawal, as described above. The accumulation of absences can either be consecutive or occur at any point during the quarter. The student will be sent an email after each absence and will be instructed to contact his or her success adviser for assistance. Consult with your student success adviser for details.
right to privacy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. This means you can request to read your education record and propose amendments if you believe there is misleading or inaccurate information present. It also means you must consent to disclosure of personal information that is allowed under FERPA. For example, if your parents make most of the payments on your account and will need to know your current account balance, sign a FERPA waiver so university staff members are allowed to discuss your account balance with them.
