AUDITING A COURSE
For information on auditing a course, contact the Continuing and Workforce
Education Department.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE
A student may withdraw from all courses and receive a grade of W at any time
during a given semester, subject to the withdrawal deadline specified in the college
calendar. A grade of F will be assigned for withdrawn courses submitted after the
deadline specified in the College calendar. Exceptions to this policy must be
approved by the vice president of instruction.
If a student receives Title IV funds (Pell, FSEOG and/or Student Loans) and
completely withdraws from TVCC or earns grades of all “Fs”, HE/SHE MAY OWE
FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THIS SHOULD BE VERIFIED BY THE
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE PRIOR TO WITHDRAWING FROM ANY COURSES.
Withdrawal procedures must be initiated in the Advisement Center at any time of
the semester before the official drop date or through Cardinal Connection after
census date through the official drop date.
Withdrawal requests will not be
accepted by telephone.
It is the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from a course or verify that
the instructor has initiated the withdrawal procedure
WITHDRAWAL FROM DEVELOPMENTAL CLASSES
Students may NOT withdraw or drop any developmental level course. Furthermore,
the instructor does not have the ability or authority to withdraw or drop a student
from a developmental course. All developmental students will receive a grade of A,
B, C, F or IP.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY—SIX-W RULE
Any student whose first semester in college was fall 2007 or later may not have
more than six
unexcused withdrawals
(Ws) during his/her academic career (as per
THECB Rules: Chapter 4, Subchapter A, 4.10). This applies to a student’s academic
record from all higher education institutions attended.
If a student has six
unexcused withdrawals
, he/she will no longer be allowed to
withdraw from a course; whatever grade the student earns is the grade that will be
posted. To determine if a withdrawal is excused, a student must initiate a
withdrawal request through the Advisement Office or, in special circumstances,
through the faculty member.
