Add/Drop:

After the official registration period is over, students may make adjustments in their schedule through the process of adding and/or dropping courses. The last date for students to add or drop a course without a penalty is indicated in the catalog and JSCC academic calendar.

After the add/drop period ends, and no later than two-thirds into the part-of-term, a student may officially withdraw from a course(s) or the institution.

Withdrawal “W” Grade:

The grade of “W” is assigned for a student who officially -withdraws from a course or the college prior to or on the last day to withdraw. The last day to withdraw is listed in the academic calendar. The “W” grade is non-punitive and will appear on the student’s transcript.

A withdrawal is initiated by the student. Students are encouraged to speak with both an academic and financial advisor before withdrawing from a course(s).

Withdrawal from the College:

“W” grades are also assigned to all courses when a student makes a total withdrawal from the college prior to the withdrawal deadline. To withdraw from the college, a student must officially withdraw from all classes. In case of serious illness, serious injury, death, or failure to comply with school policy regarding the repeat of a grade of “B” or higher, the college may administratively withdraw a student. In such cases, the “W” grade will be recorded.

Late Withdrawal:

After the deadline to withdrawal has passed, students who can demonstrate unusual circumstances or hardships may request a late withdrawal using the appropriate form and submitting it to the office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs prior to the end of the term. No late withdrawal will be considered after six (6) weeks from when the term for which the request is being made has ended. Please note: Continue attending classes if at all possible until permission is granted. Submitting a request does not signify permission will be granted.

FA Grade:

A student who stops attending class and does not officially drop or withdraw from class will receive the grade of FA.
