Withdrawing from a Course
Before withdrawing from a course at 王中王铁算盘开奖结果, students must read the following guidelines and information so they understand the potential academic and financial impacts of a course withdrawal.
We also suggest you talk with your advisor first. We have a lot of resources available to help you. View advising contact and appointment information.
Understand the difference between dropping and withdrawing
The difference between dropping and withdrawing from a course is based on the time of the semester at which the student takes action. Course withdrawals happen after the time period in which drops are allowed and have very different potential consequences on your academic record and student account.
Drop: Students may drop courses from their class schedules and/or add other courses through the "Last Day to Drop and Have Fees Adjusted" deadline published in the online Academic Calendar. This drop deadline is near the beginning of a part of term. If a student drops a course, the course will not be included on the transcript and the student will receive a refund of applicable tuition and fees paid for the course.
Withdrawal: Students may withdraw from courses during the semester per State Board Rule 6A-14.0301 following the established procedures explained on this page and by 11:59 PM on the deadline to "Withdraw with a Grade of W," which is published in the online Academic Calendar.
- When students withdraw from a course, the course will be included on the transcript as a course attempt with a final grade of 'W'. While 'W's do not count toward a student's Eastern Florida GPA, they do count as course attempts.
- Students who withdraw from a course are still responsible for tuition and fees for the course. The student will not receive a refund of tuition and is responsible for all associated course fees and the withdrawal could impact financial aid or require aid repayment.
- Students may not officially withdraw from a course taken for the third time; they must receive a grade for the third attempt, a rule which has been in effect since 1997. The online system will allow the withdrawal, but the student will receive an email notifying them they will receive a final grade of "F" for that course.
- Review the additional potential financial and academic consequences and guidelines below before proceeding with a course withdrawal request.
- Exceptions to all the guidelines associated with a course withdrawal and exemptions from full-cost tuition for repeated course attempts must be petitioned through the Academic Chair for the course discipline in question using the College's Academic Appeals process.

Withdrawing from a Third Attempt in a Course

Please note: the online withdrawal process will allow the student to withdraw from a third attempt. However, students will receive an email in their student account notifying them that they will receive a final grade of 鈥淔鈥 in the course.
Total Withdrawal from the College
Students who completely withdraw from all 王中王铁算盘开奖结果 courses will be flagged with an enrollment status of Total Withdrawal. This may affect financial aid and tuition and fees owed to the College.
Please note: Passing some of your courses may be a better alternative than total withdrawal. Before you file the withdrawal form, it is advisable to speak with a Student Advisor to explore your options and receive important information.
What to do when you are ready to return: To reinstate to the college within one year, student must see a Student Advisor to have their status changed. Students who do not complete a course for three consecutive terms or more will be inactivated and must complete the online Admissions Application for readmission and provide updated documentation.
Administrative Withdrawal or Withdrawal for Non-Attendance
Regular class participation is required at 王中王铁算盘开奖结果. Students are expected to attend all classes and actively participate and complete all assigned course work for all courses for which they are registered. In order to obtain credit for a course, a student must demonstrate continued academic participation as defined in the Satisfactory Academic Participation definition and earn an overall passing score on assignments used to meet the competencies of the course. Students may elect to withdraw from a course by the published withdrawal deadline, but they will not be withdrawn by their instructor outside of Census Reporting or the Disruptive Student Behavior policy.
Students may receive a failing grade based on lack of satisfactory academic participation as outlined in the Satisfactory Academic Participation definition. If a student fails based on that definition, they may continue to submit assignments and receive feedback until the conclusion of the course; however, no grades will be assigned to those assignments.
Students who are reported as never attending or participating based on the Satisfactory Academic Participation definition during the Census reporting period will be withdrawn from the class by the Office of the Registrar. Financial Aid and Veterans benefits will be adjusted or rescinded accordingly.
Additionally, a student may be administratively withdrawn without permission for non-compliance with Florida statutes and rules or 王中王铁算盘开奖结果 policies and procedures related to student behavior and conduct. An administrative withdrawal from a course will result in a final grade of 鈥淲鈥 if it is the student鈥檚 first or second attempt at the course; all other attempts will result in a grade of F.
Reinstatement into a Class
If a student has been withdrawn in error, or wants to rescind their withdrawals, the student must obtain permission from the instructor. The instructor must email censusreporting@easternflorida.edu to authorize the student鈥檚 reinstatement.
What Happens after Student is Withdrawn?
- The student will receive a notice of the withdrawal in their 王中王铁算盘开奖结果 student email.
- If the withdrawal cannot be processed the student will receive a notice of the issue sent to their 王中王铁算盘开奖结果 student email.
