DIXIE STATE COLLEGE
Withdrawing from School
Students are permitted to withdraw
completely from Dixie State College through the twelfth week of the semester.
Students will not be officially withdrawn after the twelfth week of the semester.
Complete withdrawals must originate in the Registrars Office. Refunds
will be available in accordance with the Student Tuition and Fee Payment Policy
5-17.
Administrative Withdrawal
Refer also to Administrative Withdrawal Policy 5-44 and Student Tuition
and Fee Payment Policy 5-17. Students may be administratively withdrawn from
a class or from the College for the following reasons:
- Failing to attend class on the first day of class, without receiving
special permission from the teaching faculty member.
- Failing to complete orientation within the first week of the semester
in self-paced computer classes. Orientation is still required after the first
week of classes for a limited period.
- Registering for courses for which they have not completed the prerequisites
or in which they are not properly placed. (See Academic Assessment Policy
5-6.)
- Neglecting to pay tuition and fees for any given semester by the end
of the third week of the semester. This type of administrative withdrawal
has been referred to previously as a "purge".
- Registering for a class without following proper procedure when a "hold"
has been placed on a student's registration for unacceptable academic performance.
(See Scholastic Standards Policy 5-19.)
- Classes may be canceled due to low enrollment or other uncontrollable
circumstances. In this case, students are notified and told that they need
to register for an alternate class.
Re-Registration After Administrative Withdrawal
All students who wish to attend class after they have been administratively
withdrawn from classes must re-register in compliance with registration policy
and deadlines.
Some students may need to appeal to the Admissions and Credits Committee
for re-admittance. Appeal forms are located at the Advisement Office.
Students wishing to re-register after the purge (administrative withdrawal
due to non-payment of monies owing) must re-register for all classes in which
they were registered before the purge. Select classes may be dropped or block
classes added after that point.
The College cannot guarantee that a student administratively withdrawn for
non-attendance or unacceptable academic performance will receive the same
schedules s/he had prior to withdrawal.
Students who must re-register after the first week will pay a late registration
fee as well as the standard cost of tuition and fees before being allowed
to re-register.
