Any student wishing to add or drop courses must request an “Add/Drop” form from the Student Administrative Services Office. Students must officially drop a course on or before the College drop date of the academic term to avoid academic penalty.
All course additions must be completed before the end of the first week of instruction in the term. Students wishing to add courses should be aware that attendance requirements need to be considered when adding a course after the first day of class.
If a student’s request to withdraw from a course(s) will result in the student being placed on an individualized schedule, the student must first meet with the Registrar or an adviser for academic advising. A grade of “W” will appear on the student’s transcript and will count as a course attempted in the evaluation of satisfactory academic progress. Petitions to withdraw in extenuating circumstances after the respective campuses posted “Last Day to Drop a Course” date should be submitted to the Academic Dean. A student may only withdraw from any given course twice without academic penalty.
The Palmer College Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards for financial aid eligibility require that students are making progress towards completion of their degree. Withdrawal from courses may have a direct effect on loan eligibility during the next period of enrollment. Please refer to the Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements Policy and address any questions regarding Title IV aid eligibility to the Director of Financial Planning.
