Withdrawal or Dismissal Policy
If a student leaves the Institute through withdrawal, the student must:
- Obtain a Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form from the Registrar.
- Obtain the approval and signatures of the faculty advisor and the Program Director.
- Obtain clearances from the offices listed on the withdrawal form.
- Pay all outstanding tuition, fees, and other charges at the Student Accounts Office.
- Contact the Financial Aid Office regarding Federal Stafford Student Loans, private loans and other aid.
- Complete an exit interview for Federal Stafford Student Loans recipients.
No student may withdraw in good standing until all financial obligations to the Institute are paid in full, the completed Notice of Withdrawal form is filed, and all Institute property has been returned.
In rare cases, a student is dismissed for administrative reasons, e.g., for failure to pay tuition and fees by published deadlines, to register, or to comply with immunization requirements. In such cases, an administrative withdrawal is noted on the transcript.
No student should consider dropping out of an educational program due to financial difficulties without first seeking counseling from a financial aid advisor. The Financial Aid Office can assist students with debt management, budgeting, short-term emergency loans and other financing options.
