Withdrawals – from the University

The following definitions apply to the various types of withdrawals that ECPI uses in its policies:

Academic Withdrawals. See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy in this catalog for information on academic withdrawals.

Administrative Withdrawals. A student who has not attended classes for more than 14 consecutive calendar days will be administratively withdrawn.

Student-Initiated Withdrawals. To officially withdraw from the University, the student must contact someone in Academic Administration to provide notification of his/her intent to withdraw.  New students who withdraw from the University prior to the end of the first week of class will have no attempted courses shown on their academic records. 

Students officially withdrawing from the University during week one of a term will receive a grade of W for all current courses if attendance is posted. Students officially withdrawing after the first week of the term will receive a grade of WP or WF, which is determined by the grade earned at the time of the withdrawal. A grade of F will be awarded for all courses dropped during week five.

Withdrawals and Veterans Benefits. The Veterans Administration will pay through the last day of attendance for a course from which the student withdraws. Veterans should consult with the Veterans Administration for more information.

Tuition. Students withdrawing from the University, who have completed the semester or payment period (per U.S. Department of Education regulations), are charged tuition and fees based on their enrollment status for the number of credits attempted in the semester they withdraw.
