Student Withdrawals

Students may be withdrawn, voluntarily or involuntarily, from a program of instruction at Southwest Georgia Technical College.

Students who have been withdrawn must reapply for admission.

All student withdrawals (attended class one session), including “No-Shows” (never came to class) must be documented. Faculty will record withdrawals and no-shows on class roster(s) and submit the roster(s) to the appropriate staff person.

Instructors may assist students with schedule changes during the drop/add period via Banner Web. Students may also receive services from Student Affairs concerning schedule changes.

No-shows are recorded as NS in Banner. Withdrawals of students prior to mid-term who have made satisfactory academic scores with receive a “W.” Students withdrawing prior to mid-term with unsatisfactory academic scores or withdrawing after mid-term will receive a “WF.”

Withdrawal/Dropping Courses

Students desiring to withdraw from a course(s) or from the College should consult their academic advisor. Advisors are interested in providing assistance to students; they may be able to help students plan their educational pursuits and/or provide needed job information. The course schedule effective at the end of the drop/add period becomes the official quarterly schedule for the student.

If the student should decide to drop a course(s) or withdraw from the College during the first three days of the quarter, he/she must contact their advisor or Student Affairs. Students who officially withdraw from course(s) or the College may be entitled to a refund based on the refund policy. After the first three (3) days of the quarter, students must contact their instructor(s) or advisor to officially withdraw from a course(s) or program.
