A student who officially withdraws from a course after the twelfth class day but within the first twelve weeks of a regular semester, after the seventh class day but within the first 8 weeks of the summer semester, or after the fourth class day but within the first four weeks of a 5-week summer term will receive a grade of “W” in the course. Students may not withdraw from school or drop classes after this time and receive the grade of “W.” Requests for withdrawal must be made in person, in a written and signed request sent by mail or by FAX, or by email using the student’s Northeast email account only. Emails will not be accepted from other email accounts. Withdrawals will not be accepted by telephone. Please review the NTCC’s Grading Policy in the Catalog for more information.
A grade of “W” is not calculated into your GPA and will not affect your GPA in a negative way. However, a grade of “W” may affect your financial aid eligibility. A grade of “W” is counted toward total hours attempted but not successfully completed. Please review the NTCC’s Financial Aid section of the catalog for more information.
