Drop Policy for Online Program and Online General Education Classes
A student must participate (respond to a discussion thread or complete an assignment)
by 11:59 PM on the Sunday of the term/semester to be considered enrolled. Failure to
participate by this deadline will result in the student being dropped from the college, and
courses will be deleted from the student’s permanent academic record. (See the Tuition and
Fees section of the Catalog for refund policy.) Faculty are required to submit participation/
non-participation grades by 11:59 PM on the Monday following the term/semester start.
Census will be completed on the Tuesday following the term/semester start. Once a student
participates in an online course, it is his or her responsibility to officially withdraw from
the college or drop a course by officially notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing if he or
she finds it necessary to drop or withdraw. A student in an online learning cohort is enrolled
for a semester of courses. Once a student has attended beyond the drop period of the term/
semester, charges will not be adjusted for dropped courses. Certain enrollment changes may
result in complete loss of aid eligibility for the entire semester, even if those funds have
been posted to the student’s account. For a student who withdraws or stops participating
entirely, charges and financial aid will be adjusted according to the refund policy (prorated)
at that point. Once census date has passed, failure to continue participating in class, without
official notification of withdrawal, will result in an of ‘F’ and a withdrawal calculation
(including return of financial aid funds).
WITHDRAWAL FROMTHE COLLEGE
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College should apply directly to the
Registrar in BC Central for the proper withdrawal procedure. Grades of “DR” indicating
withdrawal from school will be given to the student who properly withdraws. Earned
grades will be issued for courses completed prior to the student’s withdrawal (including
failing grades). A student planning to withdraw from school should consult the Financial
Aid Office regarding regulations for satisfactory academic progress. In addition, a student
should confer with the Business Office to settle his or her account. The Registrar staff will
notify administrative departments of a student’s request to withdraw.
COURSE CANCELLATION
The College does not guarantee offering all or any of the courses listed in this Catalog.
When there is inadequate registration for a course, it may be cancelled without notice. The
Registrar will attempt to notify all students of course cancellations before the first meeting
of the semester.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular class attendance is critical to the learning process. Students must attend a
minimum of 75% of classes in a course to receive academic credit. This college-wide
policy serves as the basis for instructors’ individual attendance policies as described in
course syllabi. Instructors maintain class rolls for all courses. At the discretion of the
instructor,
unexcused absences
can result in severe academic penalties including, but not
