Overview
Administrative withdrawal may be utilized in special circumstances when the student is unable to drop themselves or if the College needs to process the drop.
Involuntary administrative withdrawals may be utilized in special circumstances. Special circumstances may exist when a student’s personal circumstances significantly impact their ability to successfully continue their academic performance (as determined by college administration), discipline-based withdrawal, or dismissal procedures maintained by academic units. The process to appeal the administrative involuntary withdrawal will be shared with the student. Financial implications will be considered on an individual basis. Special circumstances include:
