WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Withdrawal from a Class

Students may withdraw from a class from the end of the add/drop period until the withdrawal deadline,
which is published in the College calendar. Withdrawn grades (“W”) will be assigned for classes in
which students officially withdraw during that time. Should students fail to complete the course
withdrawal process, a failing grade (“F”) will be assigned.

Students may withdraw from a class through their OneACCS student account, by visiting the
Admissions and Records Office on any campus to complete the withdrawal form, or by emailing a
request to records@gadsdenstate.edu from their student email account.

Students receiving financial aid who withdraw from class or stop attending class could have their financial aid
decreased. Students who never attend class are not eligible for federal financial aid.

       Please note the following:

           Financial aid awards will be based on enrollment and class attendance, as reported by instructors.
           The amount of financial aid for which students are eligible is determined based upon enrollment
           and attendance as of the 10th day after regular term registration ends.

           If students add classes after the 10th day after regular term registration ends, the financial aid award
           amounts are not guaranteed to increase.

           If students withdraw prior to the 10th day, or add one or more classes after the 10th day after regular
           term registration ends, those classes may not be included when determining the amount
           of financial aid for which students are eligible.

           If students withdraw prior to the 10th day after regular term registration ends,
           financial aid may be decreased.

If financial aid awards are decreased, students may have to repay the College and/or the Department of Education
all or part of their financial awards. Nonpayment of balances will prevent students from enrolling at Gadsden State
or any other institution. In addition, students may be referred to a collection agency. For more information on the
impact of withdrawals with respect to financial aid eligibility, please contact the FINANCIAL AID OFFICE.

NOTE: Athletes and Health Sciences students must notify their department prior to withdrawing from
any class. Health Science students participating in clinical courses may receive a grade prior to the
withdrawal date and become ineligible for withdrawal.

specified in the College calendar. Students may withdraw from all classes through their OneACCS
student account after the add/drop period. Students wishing to withdraw from classes during the
add/drop period should email the Records Office at records@gadsdenstate.edu from their student
email account. Nursing students, EMS students, and athletes must notify the department prior
to withdrawal.

Once the complete withdrawal has been processed, the student will not be allowed to register again
during the term of withdrawal.

SHOULD A STUDENT ABANDON ANY CLASSES WITHOUT OFFICIALLY WITHDRAWING
FROM THE CLASSES OR FROM THE COLLEGE, THE GRADE OF “F” WILL BE ASSIGNED.

A Return of Title IV calculation will be required for students receiving or are eligible to receive financial
aid. Refer to the section TREATMENT OF FINANCIAL AID FOR COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL
for more information.

Administrative Withdrawal or Drop from a Course or the College

           1. Failure to fulfill conditions of registration if allowed to register on a conditional basis

           2. Failure to pay applicable fees

           3. Disciplinary action

           4. Misrepresentation of the required information
