Students may withdraw from a course anytime before the last week of classes (see the current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, for official dates). Students who wish to withdraw from a course must submit a withdrawal form to Records. The date of withdrawal may affect a number of things, including financial aid/ tuition reimbursement, tuition refunds, and course grades. The effective date of withdrawal depends upon the date the withdrawal form is submitted to Records. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of relevant dates, to make an informed decision, and if necessary, to submit withdrawal forms in a timely fashion.

For questions regarding the effect of withdrawal on financial aid or tuition reimbursement students should contact Student Financial Services. Deadlines for tuition refunds may be found on the current semester college calendar, available on the MTC web site, or by calling the cashier’s office.

Students who withdraw before midterm will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm and have an overall class average of 60% or greater will receive a grade of W. Students who withdraw after midterm and have an overall class average below 60% will receive a grade of WF, which is calculated as an “F”.

Grades of W or WF are also assigned when a student exceeds the maximum number of absences allowed in a course. These grades are entered on the final grade roster along with the last date of attendance (LDA). Students should understand that the LDA does not constitute an effective date of withdrawal and should not consider a decision to stop attending class to be equivalent to withdrawal.
