Administrative Course Withdrawal (ACW) is used to withdraw students from courses in which they are not actively participating. The process may be initiated by any administrative, faculty, or staff member associated with a course and requires approval by the dean of the school in which the course is housed in order to be processed.
Course instructors may request that a student be administratively withdrawn from courses for non-attendance or non-participation in course activities. For this purpose, non-attendance is considered to be 10 class periods of failure to attend or completing less than 60% of the coursework. This policy may be implemented after the second week of the semester. Students withdrawn by a course instructor will receive a WF (withdrawal failing) for their course grade. Students may appeal course grades in accordance with the grade appeal process.
Withdrawing from a course can impact financial aid/scholarships, Veteran benefits, housing, and athletic eligibility. Students are responsible for ensuring standing with appropriate offices around campus. No refunds for deposits, lab fees, or other course related material will be issued in the event of an ACW. Tuition will be assessed in accordance with the institutional refund policies.
Students who are administratively withdrawn from all of their courses may be withdrawn from Lake Erie College. Students who are withdrawn from Lake Erie College will need to apply for readmission when they are ready to return.
