Withdrawal from the College

Any full-time student who withdraws from the college is asked either to write a statement listing reasons for withdrawing or to submit to an interview with the president or dean to state his reasons for withdrawing.

Financial Obligations

Students who withdraw from the program before the fifth week of the quarter must submit a written request for a refund to the vice president. Withdrawing during a quarter does not release students from any alternative tuition payments agreed upon between the school and the students.

Students who withdraw from classes before the end of the fifth week of the quarter will have any Gutenberg College loan amounts advanced for the quarter reduced on the same schedule as tuition is refunded. (See Refund Policy.) This reduction will not be considered as payment toward outstanding loans.

If a student who withdraws is entitled to a refund, then the Gutenberg College bookkeeper will first apply that refund to any outstanding Gutenberg College loans and will then notify the student of when his next payment is due. (For loan repayment terms, see “Institutional Aid” under Financial Aid.)

Transcripts

The last day to withdraw from classes is the third from the last Monday of the quarter. Students who want to withdraw from (drop) a class must petition for the change by completing a Class Change Request form and submitting it to the college office. If a student withdraws from a course before the "last day to withdraw from classes" on the Academic Calendar, his transcript will show a 'W'. Otherwise, a grade will be given for the course.

See Transcipts for information on requesting a transcript from Gutenberg College.
