19 Administrative Withdrawls
MSC publishes a statement in the class schedule stating the student is responsible for all charges incurred unless the student officially withdraws within the add/drop period. MSC will make every effort to cancel an enrollment due to non-attendance. During the add/drop period, instructors are required to submit no-show rosters for non-attendance so no charges are incurred by the student. No-shows should be completed in Aggies Online within the first week of a regular semester or 2 days during the summer semester or after the first class during shorter sessions.
After the add/drop period, instructors are encouraged to administratively withdraw students for non-attendance (with the student being charged tuition and receiving a grade of AW) through the 52nd day of a 16-week semester and proportional times for shorter terms. No withdrawals are permitted during the last two weeks of a regular term or a proportional time for shorter terms except complete withdrawals from the college unless extraordinary circumstances are documented and approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Any student who stops attending a course(s) and does not officially withdraw from the course(s) will receive a failing grade in the course(s). The procedure to administratively withdraw students is as follows:
Email the Registrar’s Office and student (cc) notifying of administrative withdrawal. The email should include the student’s name, ID number, course ID, and last date of student attendance.
